New 'transit justice' report calls for creating a more equitable transportation system
Briefly

"Too many pedestrians and cyclists get hit and killed by drivers every year, the report says. And too many suffer the costs of primarily using cars for transportation, whether in the form of high fuel expenses, heavy pollution or lengthy commute times."
"Decarcerating Transportation lays out a roadmap for police-free transportation. APTP focuses on reimagining old systems by investing in public transportation and infrastructure instead of an enforcement regime that has long produced racist outcomes."
"Policing has been the 'default option' for creating traffic safety across the country but has not led to safer outcomes. The report explores the economic and racial inequalities deeply embedded in our current approach to mobility."
