We held the pilot session for the Mobile Voice Project throughout
late November and early December of 2012. Our team is hopeful that the data we collected
will shed some light on the mobility patterns of the participants from the
Women's Center of Wake County, and help us to fine-tune the logistics of the intervention before full implementation.
The numerous
photographs taken by the participants were particularly interesting to
go through and analyze. MVP team members are currently in the process of compiling the best shots and using them
to create a video about the project. I've edited quite a few at this
point, and I'd really like to share some of my personal favorites
because I think they all illustrate the fact that these women lead
complex and different lives, though all of them are affected by
transportation in some way.

We are excited to share more photos with you through this process. As of right now, we are all working to
get "official" sessions of the project underway, both at the Women's
Center and at the Helen Wright Center for Women. We will begin full implementation in March, so make
sure to check back on this blog for updates!
