Picking a ebike was easier than I thought.

One of my 2025 goals is to attend 1-2 networking events monthly. As a car-free mom in Detroit, I needed to find a way to get to Ann Arbor. I'm so thankful for the Regional Transit Authority of Southeast Michigan and the D2A2 pilot program. Join me on my journey.

Come with me: your favorite car-free mom in the D goes to The State of Transit Annual Meeting! I took the 52, then transferred onto the 16—both buses were less than a 5-minute walk to my destination. Left with Alex via the amazing #9 People Mover.

Being car free in Detroit for over 3 years with a child has honestly been the easiest change in my move to back to Detroit. It’s shocking how much it's improved my life.

Since becoming car-free, things have changed for the better, and I've created my own 15-minute city.

How about you? Could you be car-free or car-lite?

I started a 6 month challenge for grocery shopping this month. My budget is set at $200 a month which is $50 a week. This is week three. Do you think I made it?. How much do you spend monthly on groceries?
