Tara Goddard, an associate professor at Texas A&M University, focuses on equitable transportation systems and safe roadway design. In the discussion, she explores why people drive aggressively and how societal views around cars are shaped. The conversation delves into the term 'motonomativity,' the racial biases in driver behavior towards pedestrians, and the media's passive language that minimizes accountability in traffic incidents. Tara underscores the need for a cultural shift in how we think about streets and who they serve.
