LECTURE BY PROF. DR. SUSAN HANDY
Shifting Gears: Toward a more equitable and sustainable transportation system

The transportation system in the U.S. has been shaped by a core set of ideas that are embedded in professional practice. These ideas – freedom, speed, mobility, vehicles, capacity, hierarchy, separation, control, and technology – have produced a system in which most people are dependent on driving, with all the negative consequences that entails. Shifting to a system that is both equitable and sustainable requires a shift in thinking on the part of the transportation profession. In this talk, I take a critical look at the way of thinking that, for the last century, has shaped our transportation system and consider the ways in which that thinking is – and is not – shifting.

Prof. Dr. Susan Handy is an internationally recognised expert in transport planning at the University of California, Davis. She has directed the National Center for Sustainable Transportation, funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation, and the graduate program in Transportation Technology and Policy. Her book Shifting Gears: Towards a New Way of Thinking About Transportation (2023) calls for a new paradigm focused on accessibility and human-centred planning. Renowned for linking research with practice, she received an honorary doctorate from Delft University of Technology in 2025 and presented her work as a keynote speaker at the Transportation Research Board in 2024.
