This first webinar will provide a compelling view into how two transit agencies have set up safe spaces for conversations on race, what the impacts have been to date as well as key take-aways for other agencies and organizations.
Jacqueline Hopkins from SEPTA and KeAndra Cylear Dodds of LA Metro will discuss the practical challenges of implementing courageous conversations, what they have learned, what the relative value has been for their agencies and how they plan to build on these conversations to advance diversity, equity and inclusion.
This APTAU webinar series is free for APTA members and is presented by Jacobs.

As communities and regions devise plans and strategies for building-back-better and building better transit, this is also an opportune time for transit agencies to look at their operating models and consider new approaches to mobility and integration. Too often, the ability of transit agencies to deliver on key goals such as regional mobility, equity, sustainability, and post-pandemic economic recovery are constrained by legacy organizational designs.
Federal COVID-19 relief has provided temporary breathing room for operating budgets, and infrastructure legislation could bring opportunities to close service and equity gaps, improve networks, and introduce new technologies including electric buses (and the required skill sets that must accompany these new and exciting opportunities).
Hear from the transit agency leaders and regional stakeholders who are at the forefront of these discussions.
- Why might now be the right time to consider greater integration and future operating models?
- What types of new models are possible and how do they impact different stakeholders?
- What are the opportunities, and how do the potential benefits align to agency goals and missions?
- How can different approaches deliver better outcomes?
- What can we learn from the experiences of others who have confronted local questions and issues?
