Equity in Transit 3:15-5 p.m. | Breezeway
5310 Grant Workshop 8:30-10 a.m. | Breezeway
Presented by Veronica McBeth, FTA This workshop will provide historical context on the role past transportation decisions have played in creating and maintaining inequities, offer academic perspectives on practices to promote a more equitable transportation system, and provide an opportunity for Transit professionals to discuss how their organizations can advance equity in its practices. Service and operations planning for transit is not typically taught in school, so it tends to be somewhat of a black box for trained planners and members of the public alike. While transit planners all over the world have developed sophisticated methods of planning and evaluating transit, the principles of service design remain relatively simple. In this session, we will review the principles of transit service design and how to allocate and account resources.
