public transit equity

Public transit equity means ensuring that all community members, regardless of income, race, or location, have fair access to reliable, affordable transportation options. It aims to remove barriers that prevent some groups from reaching jobs, healthcare, education, and services, promoting social and economic inclusion. Achieving transit equity involves planning transit systems that serve underserved communities, reduce disparities, and promote affordability and convenience for everyone. Ultimately, it’s about creating a transportation network that supports fairness, opportunity, and mobility for all individuals in a community.
