During the summit, we will examine how our transportation investments, programs and plans can lead to clean, equitable solutions for the future of our planet and community. We will highlight the kinds of transportation decisions being made in the face of the climate crisis along with the change-makers leading on them. Low-income people and People of Color are impacted first and worst by climate change but served the least by our transportation system.
