Designing for Transit Equity
May 19, 2021
Since the implementation of Title VI, transit agencies have conducted studies and implemented new policies to ensure people, regardless of their income or the language they speak, can have access to low-cost fares and be an active part of public engagement. Since then cities have actively conducted reports for Title VI analysis but still require more wide-scale efforts to ensure that social and racial justice are woven into their practices.
With a new administration and a commitment to racial equity from the U.S. Department of Transportation, agencies now are rethinking their processes for public engagement, community outreach, and how they gather hyperlocal data.
