Stop, Look, Listen: Engaging Communities to put Equity into Action

This episode concludes AASHTO’s four-part series on equity, where we’ve focused on transportation professionals’ work towards building an equitable transportation system. This episode is brought to you from the AASHTO 2023 Annual Meeting where we spoke with guests and attendees from all over the country. Our guests today join us from the audience and the panel of the annual meeting knowledge session titled “Stop, Look, Listen: Engaging Communities to Put Equity into Action!” We speak to them today about their immediate thoughts and reactions on the knowledge session and get their perspective and opinion on what equity looks like in transportation.
