Erica Castaneda

Bio: Erica lives in and calls South Tucson home. She is passionate about helping her community. Erica helps address issues affecting her community, such as safety concerns, infrastructure improvements, and environmental initiatives. She also assists the community by passing out food boxes to those in need. To Erica, equitable mobility means “ensuring that all individuals, regardless of their socio-economic status, have access to safe, affordable, and efficient transportation options. When individuals have access to reliable transportation options, they are better able to access job opportunities, educational institutions, healthcare facilities, and other essential services. This can help break the cycle of poverty and create more equitable communities.” For fun, you would find Erica with her family at the park hanging out or at the splash pads cooling off.
