Communities thrive and prosper when people are able to access job opportunities, education, and each other – which is why former Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx called transportation infrastructure “the connective tissue of the United States.” In this episode we sat down with Malcom Glenn, Head of Global Policy, Accessibility, and Underserved Communities at Uber, to discuss how the company is working to address inequities in the nation’s transportation network - with a particular emphasis on accessibility.
