“Move in a way that is guided by love. That’s the most creative thing you can do as a human.”
Yasmine Smith, a founding member of the law firm Smith & Mendoza and co-chair of PUMA (People United for Mobility Action), connects the dots between transit and its place in our community through the lens of creativity. With an emphasis on community, people, and empathy, she explains how transit is about more than where the bus lines run.
