Did you know? Paid supporters get a reduced ad experience!

We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?
Thank you for supporting Radio Free Hub City!
As part of this initiative, city officials are reaching out to the public to gather vital input. A newly launched survey is designed to capture residents’ firsthand experiences and concerns regarding transportation safety within the city. The data collected from the survey will help guide planners in prioritizing areas for improvement and addressing specific trouble spots.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Residents are encouraged to take the survey, which offers an opportunity to highlight areas where they’ve observed safety issues, such as frequent accidents or near misses, pedestrian concerns, or problematic intersections. The information shared will assist in forming actionable recommendations for future infrastructure projects aimed at enhancing road safety.
The survey can be accessed online at https://metroquestsurvey.com/sj2e2p. The city urges all residents to participate, emphasizing that public input is invaluable in making the community’s streets safer for everyone.
