Keynote Speaker: Veronica O. Davis, PE
In her new book, Inclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities, Veronica lays out her vision to bring about a new era of transportation planning. During the keynote, Veronica will explain why centering people in transportation decisions requires a great shift in how planners and engineers are trained, how they communicate, the types of data they collect, and how they work as professional teams. She’ll explain how centering people can create something safer, better, and more useful for all people. Veronica will conclude with a call to action to planners and engineers to reconnect with and help shape communities.
