Achieving Social Equity in Complete Streets

Complete Streets aim to serve all people safely. In order to achieve social equity, transportation systems need to be planned and designed to serve all users, including diverse communities. As places become more accessible they become more attractive; how does revitalization and displacement work within the social equity equation?

Join our panelists at Street Lights: Illuminating Implementation and Equity in Complete Streets as they explore the social value of the Complete Streets approach in the implementation of transportation infrastructure and programs.
