#MobilityJustice” in action: an effort to address the reality that low-income communities most affected by pollution from diesel trucks, highways and other sources have had the least access to zero-emission vehicles.

@kklevine I'm a once upon a time undergrad Linguistics and English major now working in active transportation policy so I definitely think about how people and actions are described and how that frames assumptions and perceptions. In the same vein as this study, Australian research found aggro drivers perceive cyclists as less than human: https://usa.streetsblog.org/2019/03/28/study-aggressive-driving-is-linked-to-seeing-cyclists-as-less-than-human/ citing https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1369847818308593?via%3Dihub#. #WordsMatter #BikeTooter #linguistics #language #MobilityJustice #MoveEquity #ActiveTransport

"The #EV transition should be part of a broader shift to clean #mobility that invests in #PublicTransit, #walking and #biking, as well as systems like EV charging that support private car use. New clean mobility systems should be designed so that all Americans have safe and reliable options for getting to their destinations."

This #MobilizingJustice launch of #MobilizingCommunities is as conversation we have been having openly for the last three years since the murder of #GeorgeFloyd, and so pointedly relevant after the murder of #TyreNichols.
@BrentToderian and #JayPitter in talking about their conversations in 2020 and how collective learning can transform.
How can we carry this throughout our daily work?

In a first for this semester, I managed to get through all the content I'd prepared for today's lecture. Learning about #CompleteStreets (and why we don't have them) sparks a lot of fascinating conversations in class, and we often go on amazing--if tangential--journeys together.
I truly love #teaching this course.

A new dissertation fellow, Nick Puczkowskyj of Portland State University, will devote his doctoral research to expanding the burgeoning field of transmobilities — a subject which investigates transgender mobility, and evolved at the nexus of #MobilityJustice and gender studies. His dissertation will use an art-informed methodology to explore how genderdiverse individuals' gender identity influences their travel behavior. Learn more about the project: https://trec.pdx.edu/news/nitc-dissertation-fellow-explore-how-gender-expression-influences-travel-behavior-decisions
