Community Engagement in Transportation Projects

With billions of federal dollars promised to reconnect communities torn apart by highways, America could be the brink of one of the largest mobility justice movements in decades. To really right the wrongs of our transportaiton past, though, author Veronica O. Davis agues we need a new playbook for how to engage and empower the Black, brown and low income communities we harmed — and her book, "Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities," could be a fantastic candidate.  We sat down with Davis to talk about her deep and diverse experience as a planner, engineer,  journalist, and advocate, how to make tough decicions when communities have massive needs, and why an equitable future cannot be car dependent.
