2024 Summit

Nearly 400 leaders and practitioners in transportation and urban planning convened for the NYC DOT inaugural Equity in Motion Summit on April 19, 2024, at the CUNY Graduate Center in New York City. Participants attended several plenaries, panels, and workshop discussions to share and learn strategies that meaningfully advance transportation equity.

Advancing transportation equity is a collaborative effort that requires buy-in from those within an organization and centers community voices in delivering transportation and urban planning projects. It also takes time to improve systems and implement equitable solutions. The Summit provided opportunities to learn from experts and peers who shared actionable strategies to work toward equitable outcomes.
