In this week\u2019s episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Regan Patterson, an incoming assistant professor at UCLA who recently completed a fellowship as a Transportation Equity Research Fellow at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation. Patterson describes how the US transportation system has led to environmental injustice and inequitable access to mobility services. She and Raimi talk about how this situation came to be; potential policy solutions; and how cities, states, and the federal government can address these issues moving forward.\n\nReferences and recommendations:\n\n\u201cGender, Climate and Transport in the United States\u201d by Regan Patterson from the Women\u2019s Environment and Development Organization; https://wedo.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/WEDO_PolicyBriefonTransport_July15.pdf\n\n\u201cDangerous by Design 2021\u201d by Smart Growth America; https://smartgrowthamerica.org/dangerous-by-design/\n\n\u201cCarbon trading, co-pollutants, and environmental equity: Evidence from California\u2019s cap-and-trade program (2011\u20132015)\u201d by Lara Cushing, Dan Blaustein-Rejto, Madeline Wander, Manuel Pastor, James Sadd, Allen Zhu, and Rachel Morello-Frosch; https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pmed.1002604\n\nBlack in Environment; https://www.blackinenviron.org/\n\n\u201cBlack Like Plastic\u201d short film; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ta-IaB8Y0I
