Mobility Network presents ‘The Way Forward: Leading the way to transportation equity’
March 29, 2022 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
The past automobile-dominated century enabled unprecedented urban growth, economic development and social engagement, but negatively affected the environment, public health, and social equity. Do we know how mobility should be delivered to improve social and economic justice? How do we engage communities to learn from them about what they need?
