With gas prices on the rise and new policies and ideas on the table, it's time to look at how we get around.

We all need to get someplace and we use many different modes of transportation to do so.

All this week, OnMilwaukee.com takes an in-depth look at how we get around with a special "Transportation Week," featuring all kinds of stories about how Milwaukee gets where it's going.

We'll look back at the history of our freeway system and mass transit service. We'll look ahead at construction projects that will alter the way we get around in the future. We'll look at transportation in other cities. And we'll look at options that don't require the use of gas or motorization.

So, buckle up, hop on and all aboard!
