Our team in Richmond, Virginia celebrated mobility, the arts and community at GRTC’s TAP Into Transit Day, a family-friendly fundraising and awareness event about experiencing transit in a whole new way.

Commitment to Our Community

Sponsoring events like Tap Into Transit is an important part of WeDriveU Cares, a nationwide initiative that fosters connections, support and volunteer opportunities between WeDriveU team members and communities they proudly serve.

GM Ashley Fernandez and her GRTC Cares paratransit team engaged with riders and community partners while attendees met local businesses, enjoyed live music and browsed the silent auction.

Transit Collab

One of the highlights was the Art Bus, which organizers describe as a bus transformed into a moving mural featuring work by artists Silly Genius, Davi Leventhal, and Chris Visions. Attendees were able to step aboard to enjoy music from local DJ, Hip Hop Henry.

Organizers invited community leaders and advocates to share insights on the vital role transit plays in connecting the region, with Mayor Danny Avula offering remarks on the importance of mobility and public transportation in building a stronger, more connected Richmond region.
