the atlanta mobility project

Participant Stories

A single mother of three sentenced to prison for vehicular homicide hit-in-run DUI; despite her not owning a car, a disgraced baseball player and his massive SUV, and comedic, yet racialized, images of thieves using a public bus to steal a grand piano from a white affluent neighborhood. While these narratives seem to be completely random and devoid of each other they in fact comprise a larger narrative of transportation in the City of Atlanta. A narrative of rugged individualism and survival (or lack thereof) over inhospitable conditions of mobility.
