TRB Conference on Advancing Transportation Equity (CATE)
The 2nd Conference on Advancing Transportation Equity will be held July 15-18, 2024, at the Hyatt Regency Inner Harbor in Baltimore, Maryland. The CATE 2024 theme, Reaching Across the Divide: Research, Community Implementation, and Shared Experiences suggests that transportation equity and mobility justice goals will only advance by connecting transportation work to community needs.
The conference will bridge the gap between the transportation equity analyses that agencies conduct and conditions on the ground. Presenters will emphasize concrete outcomes and examples of advancing transportation equity. They will highlight practical solutions and programs.
