TRB hosted a webinar on Thursday, February 3, 2022, from 1:00 to 2:30 PM Eastern that provided an overview of current diversity and inclusion efforts utilized by large, medium, and small public transportation agencies in the United States. Presenters highlighted how agencies embed equity in operations and discuss policies that impact employees, local businesses, and community members.
