Ep 11: Carter Gorzitza, Free Transit Edmonton
Episode 11
Thursday, 4 March, 2021

Access to public transportation should be a right in Canada and is a pillar of poverty reduction/elimination. Taking it a step further by making transit free, supports an equitable society, as well as social and climate justice. Additionally, it contributes to harm reduction and safer communities overall. So, if there are all these positives, why is public transit becoming less and less accessible and affordable? As a community, what can we do about this issue to change it? Join me, as I sit down with Carter Gorzitza from the grassroots organization, Free Transit Edmonton, to discuss why and how free transit is a must-have policy for the City, and what you can do about it to support it.
