In this WaveMaker Podcast episode, Jeff Fisher dives deep into one of the biggest barriers facing the homeless community today — trust and transportation. He explains how rebuilding trust is the foundation for real change, and how the lack of reliable transportation keeps people from accessing critical social services, medical care, and employment opportunities.

Jeff introduces Wave Transportation, a bold new initiative by the Ride The Wave Foundation that provides free taxi services for individuals experiencing homelessness — helping them reach appointments, shelters, and community resources safely.

This episode challenges listeners to see transportation as more than movement — it’s dignity in motion. Jeff also makes a heartfelt appeal for donations to keep this lifeline running.

If you believe in restoring trust, breaking barriers, and helping others rise with the tide, this one’s for you.

🎧 Key Topics: trust within the homeless community, transportation barriers, community support, Wave Transportation initiative, donations, social services.
