Ashley Finch, who was recently named the shared micromobility coordinator for the Atlanta Department of Transportation, says shared micromobility — like bikes, e-bikes and scooters — is an essential link to jobs, school, housing and health care.

Finch, a guest on Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” talked with program host Rose Scott about Vision Zero Atlanta and the importance of making sure shared micromobility in Atlanta is safe, equitable and accessible.

During the conversation, Finch reflected on her career path in transportation and her top priorities in her new role.

“We want to create as many modes for people to use and for them to feel like there are options if they don’t want to use a car,” said Finch, who is a cyclist.
