Transportation Seminar: Winning the Fight for Better Bus Service

We are committed to making decisions that promote the success and well-being of our campus community. The "right to the city" depends on the right to .. Read more access the city, and U.S. regions are marked by profoundly unequal access. One of the clearest manifestations of this is the state of U.S. bus transit. Bus service is simple to improve and has vast potential to better people's lives, but has been constrained by the racist planning and politics that shape every American city. How can we fulfill the promise of better buses and create abundant transit networks that expand access to opportunity? The Transportation Research and Education Center (TREC) at Portland State University is home to the National Institute for Transportation and Communities (NITC), the Initiative for Bicycle and Pedestrian Innovation (IBPI), and other transportation programs. TREC produces research and tools for transportation decision makers, develops K-12 curriculum to expand the diversity and capacity of the workforce, and engages students and professionals through education.
