Events for week of Oct 27

"How Can We Do Better? Limits on Black Mobility in Transportation" will feature two presentations and a panel discussion on the barriers and strategies for racial equity and justice in efforts to increase physical activity.

UCLA Luskin Professor Evelyn Blumenberg of the Lewis Center joins other planning experts to discuss how the pandemic touches on and shapes the mobility of vulnerable populations.

As millions reduced their travel, what were the impacts to air quality, traffic crashes and individual mental health?

Political experts Steve Schmidt and Sarah Longwell will discuss what it's like to believe in and promote a conservative agenda in America even when you can't bring yourself to support Donald Trump as president.

How has travel behavior changed during the COVID-19 pandemic? How do changes in travel behavior and online shopping differ between income, race/ethnicity, and occupational class?

The pandemic has significantly reduced transportation revenues from motor vehicle fuel taxes, tolls, transit fares, regulatory surcharges, and perhaps most importantly, general sales taxes.

Transit thrives on density, but the pandemic has upended that idea with density as the antithesis of public health measures to control the spread of COVID-19.
