Inclusive Transportation -- Rethinking Transportation Planning and Engineering
A Maryland Dept. of Planning Webinar
In June 2023, Maryland Governor Wes Moore, declared “in each of America’s most influential cities and states, policymakers developed a strategic plan to make transportation accessible for all and they executed it. We must expand transportation options across our state to ensure all Marylanders can get from where they live to where opportunity lies no matter their background, zip code, or income.”
How are accessible transportation plans created and successfully executed? They start by serving people over cars and disrupting the status quo of the transportation industry. They look at the past injustice that transit projects created while elevating current practices to do the hard work involved in making safer and more useful systems. Veronica Davis, author of Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities, and Lynn Peterson, author of Roadways for People: Rethinking Transportation Planning and Engineering, will share their decades of collective transportation experience in this webinar. Learn about the speakers’ proposed solutions for more equitable and people-centered transit systems.
