Transportation planners, engineers, and policymakers in the US face
the monumental task of righting the wrongs of their predecessors
while charting the course for the next generation. This task
requires empathy while pushing against forces in the industry that
are resistant to change. How do you change a system that was never
designed to be equitable? How do you change a system that continues
to divide communities and cede to the automobile? In Inclusive
Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities,
transportation expert Veronica O. Davis shines a light on the
inequitable and often destructive practice of transportation
planning and engineering. She calls for new thinking and more
diverse leadership to create transportation networks that connect
people to jobs, education, opportunities, and to each other.
Inclusive Transportation is a vision for change and a new era of
transportation planning. Davis explains why centring people in
transportation decisions requires a great shift in how
transportation planners and engineers are trained, how they
communicate, the kind of data they collect, and how they work as
professional teams. She examines what “equity” means for a
transportation project, which is central to changing how we
approach and solve problems to create something safer, better, and
more useful for all people. Davis aims to disrupt the status quo of
the transportation industry. She urges transportation professionals
to reflect on past injustices and elevate current practice to do
the hard work that results in more than an idea and a catchphrase.
Inclusive Transportation is a call to action and a practical
approach to reconnecting and shaping communities based on
principles of justice and equity.
