Getting to work, school, or the doctor's office is crucial for everyone. Yet, in many areas, outdated planning and unfair policies have left us with transportation systems that are hard to access. This event zeroes in on public transit, looking at how it connects with local policies, community development, money challenges, and fairness. Experts will break down different viewpoints and offer practical ideas on how we create policies that make sure everyone can have fair and easy access to transportation. Speakers include:
