How did you get where you needed to go today?
For most people in Birmingham, the answer is simple: by car. And for many, that journey runs through a single thoroughway—U.S. Highway 280. It’s the corridor that connects neighborhoods to downtown, suburbs to the city, and for thousands of residents, it’s the thread that holds their day together.
In this episode of Connections, host Ebony Flake speaks with Julie Ross Senter, a longtime Birmingham resident whose daily routine is shaped by life along Highway 280. From school drop-offs to commuting into the city, Julie shares what it means to navigate one of the region’s most heavily traveled corridors.
Highway 280 carries the daily movement of people, families, and routines across the region. Through goBHM’s multimodal transportation plan, the city is creating more options so that, over time, fewer trips depend on a single road. Because when walking, transit, biking, and driving work together, it doesn’t just change how people get around—it helps ease the load on the roads everyone depends on.
Connections is goBHM’s official podcast, produced in partnership with the Birmingham Department of Transportation (BDOT) and the Birmingham-Jefferson County Transit Authority (BJCTA) as part of the Multimodal Transportation Plan.
Produced, written, and hosted by Ebony Flake.
With field Production by Jehme Pruitt.
