| Connecting national, mobility-focused research to practice and policy |
|
| The 11th annual Transportation and Communities Summit 2019 at Portland State University connects national, mobility-focused research to equitable practice and policy through breakout panels, Lightning Talks, student posters, deep-dive workshops, and networking. This year we’ll explore: · The intersection between transportation, housing and land use with a focus on mitigating displacement, understanding transportation's impacts on the housing economy, and reforming policy in response to social justice. · Where is mobility in active transportation taking us? We'll touch on safety design guidance at the intersection, the electrification of travel options like e-scooters and electric buses, and policies to support active mobility for all ages and abilities. · Tackling multimodal data: collecting, processing, analyzing, and using it to create equitable transportation solutions. We’re excited to welcome our keynote Ben Wellington—a data scientist and policy analyst from New York City whose work has influenced local government policy, street infrastructure, and the design of NYC subway vending machines. |
