Behind the Scenes at Our Shared Street

Written by Zara Seastrunk | September 9, 2021

We hope you are excited for our fifth annual Our Shared Street Pop-Up event on September 14. This family-friendly party is a fun way to learn about the available transit options in your neighborhood, get to know your neighbors, and discover local businesses.

Our partners play a huge role in making this event a great experience for everyone. They give attendees an opportunity to explore and interact with local businesses. We're excited to showcase our mobility experience station where you can try new mobility options. A special thank you to our key event sponsor, the Rosslyn Business Improvement District (BID) for making Our Shared Street possible this year.
