Building a Detroit that moves everyone

Detroit was built for cars, but its future depends on people. Public transit in the Motor City has long struggled to keep up with the city’s needs, from unreliable service to missed school days and lost job opportunities. In this episode, we explore what it would take to build a Detroit that truly moves everyone.

Transit advocate Deanne Austin joins Robyn Vincent to talk about how mobility shapes opportunity, what Detroit’s next mayor must prioritize, and how better buses could strengthen education, access, and everyday life.
