Mobility Matters: Senator Alexis Calatayud | Transit, Housing & Connecting Miami
🏛️ 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—and why collaboration and compromise are the keys to moving Miami forward.
Poco a poco, bit by bit, track by track, we are going to build a better mobility system for our workforce in South Florida.
We can’t build our way out of traffic, because we’re landlocked. And so really, alternative modes is the only solution.
🚆 In this episode, we discuss:
– Saving and investing in Tri-Rail and the Northeast Corridor
– The Urban Infill Redevelopment Act and pathways to homeownership
– Mobility corridors like the Underline, Ludlam Trail, and South Dade Trail
– Hometown Heroes down payment assistance for first-time buyers
– Aging in place, the PACE program, and senior mobility
– Regional collaboration, compromise, and long-term vision for Miami
Don’t miss this thoughtful conversation and stay tuned for future episodes exploring the people and ideas keeping Miami moving.
