we are reaching out to y’all to serve as volunteer paper reviewers!
We have been assigned 43 papers, each requiring at least two reviewers and
covering the following broad topics:
· Travel behavior and transportation disadvantaged groups
· Mobility and COVID-19
· Access to services and COVID-19
· Health impacts of transportation
· Socioeconomic impacts, communities, and well being
If you are available to help with this effort, please respond to the Google
Form link by Noon on August 17th: https://forms.gle/ZxQMBxZqhZ7NbbpWA

have any questions!

FYI - I was recently sent a link to this Toolkit which is meant to help the general public figure out how to voice their ideas when their community is engaged in the process of making transportation decisions. It will help them learn about laws and policies that give them the right to participate in transportation decision-making processes. It will also help them learn how to take advantage of opportunities that occur during the process of planning, funding, designing, building and maintaining transportation projects. While it is a little long, it is well done.

Purpose
Cambridge Systematics is driven to improve society through our objective leadership in transportation. One way we achieve this is by grounding our work in the distinct principles and purpose that drive us to meet the challenges of advancing an equitable future through transportation. We have an unwavering commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion within our company and in our communities. We acknowledge past wrongs in transportation planning and implementation and recognize that we need to lead the industry in creating a more equitable and inclusive transportation system for all the people it serves.
That’s why we are going beyond our paid client work to offer in-kind grants so we can partner with select nonprofit and grassroots community-based organizations to advance their equity goals by providing Equity-In-Action through access to our proprietary data and to our experts.
Below is information regarding the grant purpose and qualifications for 2021 and a link to the grant application.
We will support projects for:
· Studying travel made by residents of communities with historically disadvantaged populations for the purpose of helping better understand trip making in and around their communities and working collaboratively to compare trip patterns to existing mobility options;
· Studying access to job centers, education (colleges, universities and job training), health care, and/or other social determinants of health and of healthy communities including fresh food and social networks;
· Conducting research that addresses inequities in our transportation systems;
· Strengthening grant applications to advance equitable transportation access to—and/or equitable impact of transportation investments in—health care, health outcomes, education, jobs, job training, fresh food, and other key determinants of health and economic security, by showcasing travel and traffic conditions; and/or
· Advancing equitable recovery from COVID-19.
