Leadership Florence Participates In ‘Ride A Mile’ Session

On Tuesday, December 9th, the Florence Chambers’ Leadership Florence class held their ‘Ride A Mile’ session in partnership with PDRTA.

The Ride A Mile program is a simulated society experience in which participants face real-time life scenarios of different socio-economic levels. Participants spent the day navigating community resources using public transit, stepping outside their routines and into new perspectives. Through shared experiences, they saw that public transit is about more than getting from point A to point B, it is about access, opportunity and connection.

Thank you to PDRTA for continuing to accommodate this partnership. A special thank you to Mercy Medical Free Clinic, Lighthouse Ministries, Francis Marion University, and Florence Adult Education for welcoming the class and supporting this impactful experience.
