Staying Connected: Healthy and Equitable Transport

The ongoing global health crisis and the current social justice movement have illuminated the strengths--and weaknesses--of almost every aspect of our society and have changed the way we move within our communities indefinitely. These events serve as a catalyst for reimagining our transportation infrastructure in a way that ensures public health, safety, and accessibility for all road users in different contexts. This panel will cover health, safety, inclusion and social justice issues in transportation.
