    Hi everyone.  Rachel Yoka shared the following webinar opportunity from The Salata Institute and Evergreen Collaborative that may be of interest to you. Sharing the description and link here should you'd like to participate.

    ____________________________

    Former U.S. Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx wrote that "Just as there has been redlining in housing, so does our physical infrastructure reveal a legacy of discrimination. It's time to eliminate it." Highways that divide communities, limited investment in transit and walking infrastructure, and barriers to community engagement still plague our transportation system. This year, Secretary Duffy and the Trump Administration have sought to eliminate projects that consider historically marginalized communities. 

    In this webinar, we will discuss opportunities for equitable transportation in an increasingly adversarial federal landscape. Former Secretary Foxx will provide opening reflections. Southern Methodist University Associate Professor Smith-Colin will share a new paper on "infrastructure injustice" and frameworks for considering justice. Finally, former California Transportation Deputy Secretary Darwin Moosavi will share challenges and opportunities for equitable transportation in California.
