Imagine a future where race and car access do not define where you can go. Discuss how inadequate funding, biased planning, racist violence and economic barriers restrict people of color’s movement in the US. Examine historic and contemporary examples. Learn the best approaches for lifting barriers and redirecting resources. Discuss the relationship of transit operations funding to freedom of movement. Separate myth and reality of transit safety and learn about fresh approaches to transportation safety. Help shape movement-building ideas and strategies to make more conscious and consistent connections between racial freedom and mobility.
