Abstract

The movement for racial justice and the coronavirus pandemic made clear systemic forms of oppression throughout American society—our transportation system has proven no different. Our implementation of new technologies, policies, business platforms and funding can secure a mobility network that sustains another century of American economic growth while bringing all of us together. This must be the future of our transportation.
