public transportation equity

Public transportation equity means ensuring that all people, regardless of income, race, or where they live, have fair access to reliable, affordable transit options. It aims to reduce disparities by providing underserved communities with transportation that supports their daily needs, such as work, healthcare, and education. Equity seeks to prevent transportation systems from favoring wealthier areas at the expense of marginalized communities, promoting social inclusion, economic opportunity, and overall fairness in mobility for everyone.
