Mobility Matters: Brian Bermudez, CITT Intern & FIU Senior
🌴 On this episode of Mobility Matters, hosted by Javier Betancourt, Executive Director of the Citizens Independent Transportation Trust (CITT), we welcome Brian Bermudez, a CITT intern and FIU business management and marketing senior, for an engaging conversation on public transportation, the value of internships, and building a more walkable Miami. Together, they reflect on Brian’s summer with the Trust, his month traveling through Europe, and the lessons those world-class transit systems hold for South Florida.
I actually love transportation, like public transportation, because it’s usually one of the safest ways, the easiest ways… and then it’s cheaper than just driving your car, especially around in Miami with all the traffic that we have.
Especially in Paris, I would see a bunch of bike lanes everywhere. And the people there respect it. Unlike Miami, sometimes Miami is cars first.
🚆 In this episode, we discuss:
– The value of the county’s internship program
– Brian’s community engagement and marketing work at the CITT
– Riding transit to work and everyday mobility in Miami
– Lessons from Europe’s walkable cities and transit systems
– Protected bike lanes and the ecosystem needed to support them
– Career plans, leadership, and life beyond graduation
Don’t miss this insightful conversation, and stay tuned for future episodes of Mobility Matters as we keep moving, Miami.
