Downtown On the Go’s Friday Forums bring together local leaders, experts, and the community to talk about transportation issues facing Tacoma and our region. In 2025 we’re exploring how Tacoma – both the City and its residents – is changing, through discussions on new and upcoming policy, the impacts of rising housing costs and displacement, and the future of transit in the South Sound.
