TRANSFORMING TRANSPORTATION
Zeitgeist is embarking on a transforming transportation journey to connect, educate, and advocate around barriers that persist in our transportation networks. Our mission is to address historic inequities in our transportation infrastructure, structures, and cultures by working creatively with diverse regional coalitions in leveraging change, and by centering those most impacted in visioning the solutions. Our aim is a regional transportation network that’s fully responsive to the needs of all our community members, connecting people to all the resources they need to thrive.
2024 DOC & TALK SERIES
ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION EQUITY DOC & TALK SERIES
Follow the history of transportation in this country, from buses and bikes to super highways and self-driving cars, as we examine the barriers that persist in our transportation networks. The Transportation Equity Doc & Talk Series includes monthly (generally the fourth Thursday of the month) screenings of transportation documentaries followed by community conversations with speakers from the Twin Ports advancing transportation equity through their work.
The Transportation Equity We Bike series of free events, created in partnership with Continental Ski & Bike, aims to celebrate, welcome, and empower members of historically marginalized communities within cycling. Designed with low-income, BIPOC, youth, disabled, women, and gender-nonconforming people in mind, We Bike hopes to dismantle barriers to access and pave the way for a more diverse and vibrant cycling community across the Twin Ports region by providing essential bicycling education, maintenance resources, and enriching group rides.
Zeitgeist and Continental Ski & Bike share a commitment to fostering inclusivity and accessibility in cycling to support a healthier, happier, and more equitable society. Everyone should be able to bike safely and enjoyably! Join us as we pedal towards a future where we all can bike with comfort and confidence.
