Inclusive transportation : a manifesto for repairing divided communities / Veronica O. Davis ; foreword by tamika l. butler. by Davis, Veronica O. Island Press, 2023. Call #: 388.0973 D264i Subjects Transportation -- United States -- Planning.   Transportation -- Planning -- Social aspects.   Traffic engineering.   Urban transportation.   Sustainable urban development.   Transportation engineering -- Social aspects -- United States.   Equality -- United States. ISBN:  9781642832099 (pbk) Description:  xx, 151 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (p. 143-150). Summary:  "Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the US face the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors while charting the course for the next generation. This task requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues to divide communities and cede to the automobile? In Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities, transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other. Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of transportation planning. Davis explains why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. She examines what “equity” means for a transportation project, which is central to changing how we approach and solve problems to create something safer, better, and more useful for all people. Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase. Inclusive Transportation is a call to action and a practical approach to reconnecting and shaping communities based on principles of justice and equity."-- Publisher.
