Access to reliable transit isn’t just about getting from point A to point B. It reduces barriers and strengthens communities. In this episode, we sit down with Cierra Lewis, Gender & Equity Practitioner at YWCA South Hampton Roads to explore how public transit reduces community disparities. From connecting survivors of domestic violence with safe housing and support, to ensuring families can reach jobs, education, and healthcare, transit plays a critical role in creating opportunity and stability.
