The series will cover ports, aviation, and public transit. Public transit systems across the country have seen major declines in ridership due to COVID-19. In spite of this and other challenges brought on by the pandemic, many transit systems have not wavered on their climate and sustainability commitments. Dr. Cris Liban of Los Angeles Metro, Kammy Horne of VIA Metropolitan Transit in San Antonio, Texas, and Erik Johanson of Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority will discuss the current state of their climate mitigation and adaptation work, and look ahead to share the economic, health, equity, and community benefits of investing in transit.
