Attendees will hear from UCS staff about their equitable mobility campaign; learn how to use your technical expertise and role as a constituent to inform and support equitable transportation policies; and begin to form connections with others in the field who have similar desires to level up changemaking skills and connect across roles. Special guest Liya Rechtman, Policy Advisor at US Department of Transportation, Office of the Secretary of Transportation Policy, will also join the webinar to speak about her experience as a transportation professional navigating bureaucracies at the state and federal level, and how to push for climate and equity.
