Event Description

Done right, equitable transportation policy can help level the playing field. It can transform economies, connect people to opportunity and empower underserved communities to build generational wealth for the future.

During this event, participants heard from Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg and other DOT leaders about our first-ever Equity Action Plan, released on April 14 as part of the Biden-Harris Administration’s whole-of-government equity agenda, and how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law can help advance transportation equity.

In partnership with community leaders, State, Tribal and local governments, academia, businesses, and the traveling public, we at the Department of Transportation look forward to continuing the vital work outlined in the Equity Action Plan. We welcome everyone to watch and share the event recording to continue the conversation and consider how you can help advance transportation equity.
