S1E43 PnP Ruth Rosas, America Walks about the Week Without Driving, other events and programs and more!

In this episode of the Streets and People podcast, tune in as you listen to Ruth Rosas from America Walks share her inspiring journey. Imagine growing up in a car-centric small town in Illinois, only to later embrace the vibrant, car-free life in Chicago. You’ll feel the energy as Ruth discusses the sights, sounds, and sensations of moving through the city using alternative transportation modes. Hear about the powerful impact of robust public transit and dive into the mission of America Walks, from campaigns to decriminalize jaywalking to the dynamic National Walking College. This conversation is a vivid exploration of the challenges and rewards of living without a car and the push to create walkable, accessible cities for everyone, especially those who can’t drive by choice or circumstance.

The Streets and People Podcast

Every day in Caboolture and Morayfield, people get left behind because they can’t drive. Some are too young. Some are older. Others live with disability or manage on a low income. You probably know 1 or 2 people in that situation.

We keep asking the same question: Why do cars get the red carpet while everyone else gets the gravel?

Get Around Caboolture is a local movement focused on practical transport solutions that work for more people. Through real stories and expert insights, our podcast highlights what’s missing – and what’s possible.

Our podcast series:

People & Projects (PnP): Interviews with researchers, advocates, and professionals working on transport solutions across Australia.

Not Everyone Drives (NED): Conversations with locals who don’t drive, sharing how transport access, or the lack of it, shapes their everyday lives.

Road Rules 360 (RR360)
Co-hosted with John Burrill, this series looks at road rules from all angles, with a focus on people walking, riding, scooting, or using mobility aids.

You probably know 1 or 2 people who can't or shouldn't drive

Get Around Caboolture is a community movement advocating for more travel options for people in
Caboolture & Morayfield. 

Our Goals

1. All children can ride to school on safe streets 

2. All young adults can get to work or study without needing a car so they begin adulthood without a debt of $15,000 a year. 

A lack of transport options leads to a high financial burden for
families, businesses and governments.

The only way we can be sustainable for the long term is with your help.
