Measuring equity holistically can be approached in several ways in the field of transportation. TRB hosted a webinar on Thursday, March 19, 2020 from 2:00 to 3:30 PM Eastern that explored how agencies define and address disparity as they relate to emerging technologies and new transportation modes. The presenters shared tools, methods, and approaches that may scale to statewide and regional planning. They also covered topics related to changing demographics of transportation users, economic disparity and opportunity, pricing and affordability, different modal users, access to new technologies, and environmental justice.

This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Statewide Multimodal Transportation Planning.

The slides and a recording of the webinar are available.
