12/02/21 • 30 min

In order to fix congestion, we need to rethink how we present the cost of roadway usage. Welcome to City Talks, brought to you by Ford Motor Company. Each week join Andrew Winston, Speaker, Author of Net Positive and Adviser to Multinationals as he facilitates conversations with experts and leaders that are working through the needs and challenges our cities face today. Come along as we explore how to make both cities and transportation more human-centered and create service-oriented approaches to mobility. On today’s episode, Andrew speaks with Joe Cortright, Principal Economist of ‘Impresa,’ a Portland-based, city-focused consulting firm. Listen as Joe and Andrew address city congestion. Shared mobility and rethinking roadway costs may be the keys to alleviating the hassle of the morning commute. Joe shares with us the latest findings of his ‘Young and Restless’ reports on the movements of young people, what Ben and Jerry’s can teach us about congestion, and what he thinks our cities might look like 20 years into the future.

Addressing Gender Inequity in Mobility

Welcome to another episode of City Talks, brought to you by Ford Motor Company, with this week’s special guest Seleta Reynolds, the General Manager of the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and former President of the National Association of City Transportation Officials! Join Andrew Winston, speaker, Author of Net Positive and Adviser to Multinationals as the two discuss working through the needs and challenges cities face today – and how they’re helping create safer, more accessible and more sustainable mobility options for millions.

Today’s show is all about the experiences of women, children, and members of the transgender community on transportation and shared mobility. Listen as Seleta takes us through the important findings from the LADOT ‘Changing Lanes’ Report, a recent study that examined the challenges surrounding how women and children experience transportation. Hear about what prompted a gender-based approach to studying how women and children integrate into the transportation system and what is being done to create positive change. Also, learn how data is helping shape transportation experiences and how our cities are using data to make mobility and travel more equitable and safe for all gender identities. Hear about some of the experiences and progress that are being made to address the mobility needs of transgender individuals throughout the community. The two also touch on how COVID-19 has had an impact on transportation and some of the changes that have been implemented in a post-COVID world.

Find out if any of these changes to mobility factor into inequitable transportation experiences and how these factors are being addressed in a way that keeps us both safe from infection and also provides positive experiences with mobility. Come along as we explore how to make both cities and transportation more human-centered and create service-oriented approaches to mobility. This is City Talks, presented by the Ford Motor Company!
