The Future of Law & Transportation Symposium: Transportation Planning & Land Use I

Today's is the first in a mini series of episodes we are running from a first-of-its-kind academic event on law and transportation policy, featuring scholars from multiple disciplines. Thanks to Talking Headways podcast host Jeff Wood, who edited and ran this episode first on his show, for allowing us to feature it here.

After an intro to the Symposium from Greg Shill, each scholar speaks for about 12 minutes.

Audrey McFarlane (University of Baltimore School of Law): “Black Mobility and the Refusal of Funds: Structural Racism and Mass Transportation Decision-Making”

Sara Bronin (UConn Law): “The Failed Federalism of Street and Vehicle Design Standards”
