What does equity have to do with Vision Zero? In short: Everything. For starters, it involves the fair and just implementation of transportation safety measures for all populations regardless of race, age, gender, geography and income level. This panel will discuss current and historic inequities in street infrastructure and traffic enforcement and will look at how those inequities lead to significant disparities for affected populations, including higher levels of injuries and fatalities, poorer health conditions and fewer socio-economic opportunities. Panelist will draw on their experience to highlight ways to address inequities in transportation planning on the road to Vision Zero.
