Under the Biden administration, the U.S. Department of Transportation has put equity and fighting climate change at the center of its transportation policy.
Join U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg on Tuesday, October 18, 3:00–4:00 PM ET, for a conversation on the Biden-Harris administration’s historic investments in transportation, which not only will help combat climate change, but also will benefit historically marginalized communities. The event is co-sponsored by NYU Wagner Graduate School of Public Service and The Century Foundation.
The conversation will be followed by a panel discussion featuring leaders in the transportation, climate, and equity fields, which will examine the ways in which policymakers can and are making meaningful progress towards a more connected, equitable, and sustainable future.
