Reimagining Omaha: Car-Centric Documentary & Community Conversation

Educational Community FIlm

What’s Happening?

For nearly a century, Omaha’s urban core was the city’s economic engine—until suburban expansion shifted us toward car dependency. Today, Omaha is one of the most car-centric cities in the U.S., with major consequences for safety, the environment, and economic development.

The Omaha Downtown Improvement District invites you to Reimagining Omaha: Car-Centric Documentary & Community Conversation, featuring a special screening of Car-Centric, a documentary by Joseph Giitter, ODIDA Activation Committee Chair, owner of Bohemian Photoworks, adjunct Professor at Bellevue University, local photographer & videographer. The film examines how transportation and city planning shape Omaha’s future and what steps we can take toward a more vibrant, connected city.

After the film, stay for a panel discussion featuring urban planning and transportation experts.

Panel Speakers:

Steve Jensen - City Planner
Lauren Cencic - OMetro CEO
Clarice Dombeck - RMTA Board
Eric Miller - Transportation Planner
Yanira Garcia - RMTA Board
David Levy - City Planner


Whether you commute daily or are passionate about Omaha’s future, this conversation is for you!
