About the book:

In her book, "Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities," , Veronica Davis emphasizes on the importance on including diverse voices in moving and reshaping the transportation systems to connect communities. She calls for planners, engineers, and policymakers in the US to address the inequities and divisions caused by past infrastructure projects while planning for a more equitable future. Davis emphasizes centering people and justice in transportation planning to foster networks that enhance access to opportunities for everyone.

Why this book?

The Committee selected this book due to it's applicability to real life infrastructure changes and the need for more equitable infrastructure to service all. We believe this book will bring great insight and discussion points for the attendees and can be connected directly to infrastructure we use and work on daily.
