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, What Sustainable Transportation Opportunities Contribute to Increasing Equity? the session focuses on the following questions: Can the transition to sustainable transportation be an opportunity to introduce more equity into society? Are these opportunities specific to certain types of communities? How do such opportunities vary across urban vs. rural regions? Do sustainable transportation options potentially impose higher barriers for socially disadvantaged groups? Can the lessons learned at the local level be scaled regionally or nationally? Would economies of scale help us achieve these opportunities?
