This week on Cities@Tufts, Tamika Butler presents "Transportation Inequities: What's Data Got to do With It?" How have white supremacy and structural racism shaped transportation and the built environment throughout the history of the United States? And how does engagement, data, and policy add to these disparities and challenge us all to think about data differently?

Join national transportation expert Tamika Butler to talk about transportation inequities — and how data exacerbates those inequities.

In addition to this audio, you can watch the video and read the full transcript of their conversation on Shareable.net – while you're there get caught up on past lectures.
