16th International NECTAR Conference Toronto, Canada, 20 - 22 July 2022

Mobilizing Justice: Moving Toward Action for an Equitable Transportation Future

Transportation systems, networks, and infrastructure are the critical link that connects people to their daily social, economic, and health activities. However, the quantity and quality of transportation opportunities available vary significantly from place to place, and often lead to the phenomenon known as Transportation-Related Social Exclusion (TRSE).

The conference calls for presentations on advancements in the fields of transport, communication, and equity. The focus of the conference is transportation equity and TRSE, and how 21st century cities and regions are addressing these important topics in a post-COVID-19 world. For example, presentations may discuss how transport policies enable or prevent access to opportunities, present emerging ways of measuring transport-related disadvantage and its downstream effects, or explore the intersectional experiences of individuals with transportation systems and networks.
