Over two days, “Envisioning Equitable Transitions to Sustainable Transportation Systems” will bring together a diverse group of researchers, educators, industry professionals, and activists to discuss urgent questions about transitioning to low-carbon transportation systems — whatever they might be — while addressing the needs of all populations regardless of race, ethnicity, or socioeconomic standing.

In this video, Putting Potential Solutions into Operation: Startups and Local Initiatives, the session focuses on the following questions: What is the role of startups and social entrepreneurship in the transition toward sustainable transportation systems? What are important equity and accessibility considerations for startups implementing transportation solutions in disadvantaged communities? How can sustainable transportation startups partner with private and public investors that have sustainable financing targets? What are key obstacles startups face when addressing community needs in sustainable transportation? Are there innovations on the horizon that would address these barriers? The goals of this gathering are to introduce attendees to cutting-edge issues surrounding sustainable transportation and social justice, to build bridges across different approaches, disciplines, and geographies, and to chart new directions toward a sustainable, and just, future.
This event, a collaboration between the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign and the University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), is supported by generous funding from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
