We collaborate with non-profits, schools and other groups to help them tell stories.
From producing short videos about public transportation and providing background support for a local cabaret to creating a town hall on health care challenges and helping organize and document a community mural project - these are just some of the ways we encourage participation, collaboration and interaction.
Why Ride?
Meet the people who form our community. Meet the people who ride the RIDE. A series of creative short films made with the Center for Community and The Sitka Tribe of Alaska about the little buses that make Sitka a better place to live. Hurray for Public Transportation!
