Get There Asheville is a city council candidate forum presented in partnership by Asheville on Bikes, Mountain True, and Strong Towns Asheville, focused on the interconnected issues that shape how Asheville grows and how residents experience our city—housing, mobility, resilience, and land use.

The format is organized by three components where candidates and constituents have the opportunity to be seen and heard by one another:

• The Stump: Each candidate has two minutes to introduce themselves and their platform, with remarks addressing housing, mobility, resilience, and land use.

• The Breakout: Candidates host individual tables while attendees rotate for small-group, one-on-one conversations. This portion lasts approximately 20 minutes.

• The Closing: Candidates return to the stump for a one-minute reflection on what they heard from voters, followed by a closing statement.
