Moving Fort Wayne Forward
Moving Fort Wayne Forward is a year-long reporting effort to engage residents, employers, and community leaders of Greater Fort Wayne around the possibility of a more modern, multimodal transportation system. The series will explore how all forms of transportation can better meet community needs and aspirations, highlight those working to improve the system, and investigate solutions from peer communities that can work in Fort Wayne. We’ll go deeper than other publications; unlike disjointed and problem-focused coverage, our solutions- and community-driven reporting will inform and inspire, helping Fort Wayne to reimagine the status quo and chart a course to a better quality of life.
