For todayโs #LayoverLibrary, Iโm reading โInclusive Transportationโ by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social. The book is a must have for any planner or project manager, and offers a framework for better engaging with diverse communities in transportation projects.

TONIGHTโS new-ish book in the #UrbanismBookClub is an important one โ โInclusive Transportation: A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communitiesโ by @veronicaodavis.bsky.social via @islandpress.bsky.social (2023). Foreword by @tamikabutler.bsky.social, cover art by @martyn.bsky.social. Great read. 2/

Honestly canโt recommend this book highly enough, especially if you work in/around transport.
Involuntary nondrivers need more recognition, voice & power in decision making.

First of all, Rep Green is about his business. Of all the project briefings I had to do with the Houston delegation, he made every one and he was always so kind! Second of all, THESE ARE NOT NORMAL TIMES. This is the energy we need.
I loved working for him.
