APTA Publishes Transit Equity Report
The APTA Transit Equity Report provides an overview of the state of equity within the public transportation industry in 2024.
The report highlights the work of transit agencies nationwide to ensure that their services are benefiting all community members, especially those who historically and disproportionately have been excluded from the benefits of public transit. The Nelson\Nygaard-led effort catalogues and summarizes the current state of practice, using case studies to illustrate 11 agencies that are delivering innovative equity-focused work in their communities at a systemic level. Drawing from these equity practices, the report presents recommendations to assist public transportation providers in fostering greater equity within their communities.
