    Episode 12: How do we make public transit more equitable? with Jerome Horne

    As one of Mass Transit Magazine's 40 Under 40 in 2020, Transit Center's Jerome Horne is one of the brightest stars in the transit space and the Twitter realm today. He joins us for a long, incredibly insightful talk about public transit and its impact as a tool for equity, healing, and social change. In 2020, the Black Lives Matter movement and the pandemic shed some light on longstanding issues around race, transportation, and equity in our communities. We talk about how we can move forward together to improve in the way we provide service and shape ridership experience, to actively work towards inclusivity in transit leadership, and prioritize providing a sense of dignity and security for people who use public transit. Jerome also talks about his unique path to planning, how the field of Urban Planning has space for everyone, and how we can inspire each other to make our cities a better place to live in.

    Episode 9: What are Some Challenges and Benefits of Electric Vehicle Adoption? with Sean Greene

    Sean Greene (DVRPC) returns to answer some critical questions about electric vehicle adoption. Electric vehicles are an imperfect but impactful solution to some of our biggest environmental and transportation challenges-- they can help us reduce our dependence on non-renewable fuel and energy sources and significantly improve our regions air quality. We also take time to discuss some of the bigger picture questions, like where EVs fall in the grander scheme of sustainability, climate change, and conservation.  The Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) helps municipalities and counties plan for and develop workplace and residential charging infrastructure. Their tool, the DVRPC/UC Davis Electric Vehicle Planning Toolkit is an interactive, map-based tool that can help map EV distribution and projected demand. The DVRPC also has a rich library of resources about electric vehicles below: Electric Vehicle Information Clearinghouse: https://www.dvrpc.org/EnergyClimate/ElectricVehicle/ Electric Vehicle Resource Kit for Municipalities: https://www.dvrpc.org/energyclimate/alternativefuelvehicles/evmuniresource
