Historically, transportation has not served everyone equally. What is the industry currently doing to right these wrongs? TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, October 13, 2020 from 1:00-2:30 PM Eastern that will identify current research and practices in transportation equity. Presenters will synthesize past research from existing TRB reports and provide current case studies. They will focus on environmental justice, public health, travel behavior, and public involvement.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Transportation Equity.
