This panel explores the future of transit equity through the lens of intersectionality, a framework coined by Kimberlé Crenshaw that examines how overlapping identities—such as race, gender, disability, and socioeconomic status—create unique experiences of inequality. The discussion will focus on how to integrate principles of racial, gender, disability, and social justice into every aspect of transit planning, from equitable infrastructure development to inclusive community engagement in decision-making processes. Panelists will share actionable strategies to address systemic barriers and achieve long-term transit equity that works for everyone, particularly those at the intersections of multiple forms of marginalization.
