Since 1860, Richmond, Virginia has been a leading force in public transportation. The first American city to put electric transit on the streets, Richmond continues to connect community members across the Greater Richmond region every day through the tireless work and dedication of GRTC employees.
In the fall of 2021, University of Richmond students in the “Public Transportation in the Time of Two Pandemics” course gathered oral histories from GRTC employees, and in some cases, their family members.
Featuring photographs by Tania del Carmen, Through It All: Families Moving Richmond shines a light on GRTC employees and relatives who keep GRTC operational and lead Richmond through unprecedented times. Stories of GRTC families reflect resilience, strength, work ethic, and much more.
