Transportation provides a critical part of many daily activities, such as working, shopping and visiting the doctor. Without access, those who rely on transportation systems most are restricted in their employment, healthcare and other options.
The resources provided in this guide will help the reader better understand how transportation systems—and the decisions that are made about them—affect people in underserved and underrepresented communities.
