Join us on April 10 for a presentation by Dr. Willem Klumpenhouwer on quantitatively measuring equity in transportation!
More about the talk: There is a growing desire from governments, agencies, and advocates to explicitly incorporate concepts of equity and transportation justice into the transportation planning process. One emerging effort in the industry is to develop and implement quantitative ways of measuring equity in the context of long-term planning and scenario evaluation. In this presentation we will look at how we can evaluate existing and future conditions through a quantitative, equity-focused lens and incorporate these measures into business cases and long-term planning exercises.
