Social distancing and the decreasing appeal of crowded public transport facilities raised new challenges to transportation professionals during the pandemic. Many cities took the opportunity to improve their cycling networks to attract a broader cycling audience.

In this webinar we will discuss the following topics:

• How did cities, with historically low level of cycling respond to the first wave of the pandemic and prepare for the second wave?
• What differences (or similarities) can we find in Barcelona, Manchester, Milan and Budapest due to (or despite) the cultural differences?
• What controversies have each city faced?

This webinar is hosted by Remix with the participation of UITP. Join our brilliant panelists for this timely conversation.

Transportation equity takes many forms. But underneath all of these initiatives runs the conviction that safe, accessible, affordable, and environmentally sustainable transportation options are meant for all people, not merely for a favored few.

In this webinar, we’ll have a panel of transportation practitioners, policy advocates, and Remix technologists who will speak to their unique transportation equity projects and the impacts they’re seeing on the ground.

From teaching their agency the value of Title VI, to ensuring public outreach materials are published in the languages of local communities, to building technology that supports planners focused on equity, we’re pleased to welcome our panelists:

• Janíce Soriano Ramos - Senior Planner with Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA)
• Lourdes Alvarez - Transit Planner with Foothill Transit
• Jamario Jackson - Senior Community Planner with TransForm
• Rachel Zack - Director of Policy with Remix

Join the conversation as we dig into the practical application of this critical topic.
