E-Newsletter 6.2: Race, Poverty and Transportation
Welcome to the second issue of the Race Equity Project’s 2011 e-newsletter: Race, Poverty and Transportation.
This will be the first of two Race Equity Project e-newsletter issues to explore the intersection of race equity and transportation. The first article details a San Francisco Bay Area coalition’s multi-forum strategy for seeking and achieving race equity in the Bay Area’s public transit system. The second article critiques California’s planned High Speed Rail project and its likely impact on low-income communities of color, particularly in California’s Central Valley. The final article describes an innovative program that partners academics at U.C. Davis and community advocates seeking more equitable allocation of public transit resources in the Sacramento region. We hope you find these article thought-provoking and instructive.
Opening the Gateway to Opportunity: Approaches to Transit Advocacy - By Richard Marcantonio of Public Advocates, Inc.
High Speed Rail and Social Equity – By Marc Brenman for The City Project
Transportation Equity and Engaged Scholarship: Making the Connections - By Jonathan London of U.C. Davis with assistance from Libby O’Sullivan (U.C. Davis) and Chris Benner (U.C. Davis)
