\ud83c\udfdb\ufe0f On this episode of Mobility Matters, hosted by Javier A. Betancourt, Executive Director of the Citizens Independent Transportation Trust, we welcome Senator Alexis Calatayud, who represents her district from Key Biscayne down to the Homestead Air Reserve Base, for an engaging conversation on transit investment, affordable homeownership, and connecting communities across South Florida. Together, they explore how housing, education, and mobility work as three legs of the same stool\u2014and why collaboration and compromise are the keys to moving Miami forward.<\/p>\n

Poco a poco, bit by bit, track by track, we are going to build a better mobility system for our workforce in South Florida.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t build our way out of traffic, because we\u2019re landlocked. And so really, alternative modes is the only solution.<\/p>\n

\ud83d\ude86 In this episode, we discuss:
\u2013 Saving and investing in Tri-Rail and the Northeast Corridor
\u2013 The Urban Infill Redevelopment Act and pathways to homeownership
\u2013 Mobility corridors like the Underline, Ludlam Trail, and South Dade Trail
\u2013 Hometown Heroes down payment assistance for first-time buyers
\u2013 Aging in place, the PACE program, and senior mobility
\u2013 Regional collaboration, compromise, and long-term vision for Miami<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t miss this thoughtful conversation and stay tuned for future episodes exploring the people and ideas keeping Miami moving.<\/p>\n
