These Roads We Share is a documentary video series that looks at how communities across the country are coming together through innovation and coordination to meet one of life’s most basic needs, simply getting where we need to go. Each episode features a recipient of an Innovative Coordinated Access and Mobility (ICAM) grant and highlights how those grant funds have impacted their community.
The series explores the agencies and everyday people behind the pioneering transportation programs that connect neighbors to jobs, healthcare, and opportunity. Through heartfelt stories, along well-traveled roads, and across the landscapes that have shaped our towns and cities for generations, the series reminds us that mobility is more than movement, it’s connection, dignity, and the freedom to be part of the world around us.
At its heart, These Roads We Share is a tribute to the people, programs, and enduring legacy of the Federal Transit Administration and its many partners whose work continues to move America forward. From rural bus routes winding through farmland to bustling city streets alive with people in motion, these stories celebrate the spirit of community and progress that has always defined America, honoring not just the roads we travel, but the shared commitment that keeps us connected: one ride, one neighbor, and one story at a time.
Rhode Island Travel Training Network
The Rhode Island Travel Training Network is a statewide effort that shows what strong coordination can look like. Rhode Island Public Transit Authority created travel training videos and materials to help riders learn the transit system, then shared them with partner agencies so they can train their own customers. This shared approach builds rider confidence and increases use of public transit.
HealthTran - Missouri

Here2There - New York
In western New York, Here2There offers a simple way for riders to find transportation across three counties working together in a uniquely coordinated model. This video shows how the platform works and highlights the partners and community members benefiting from more connected mobility.
Mobility Ohio
Mobility Ohio is the result of a lot of coordination between three transit agencies in four counties in central Ohio. Together they created a Regional Transportation Resource Center. The center, which will serve as a one-stop hub for trip scheduling and mobility management, will coordinate trips for approximately 40 transit providers, thus facilitating safe and reliable transportation.
