Mobility Justice From the City of Austin Imagine Austin program – Mobility Justice is one of the crucial political and ethical issues of our day in the midst of a global climate crisis and the extreme challenges of urbanization. – Mimi Sheller, author of Politics of Movement in the Age of Extremes.
Please join us as we welcome Dr. Lugo, who will share her work on a building movement called “mobility justice,” the practice of accounting for the diverse vulnerabilities that individuals carry with them as they travel through shared public spaces. How can cities, including Austin, use mobility justice to guide future investment in transportation systems? What is Austin doing right now to offer more affordable mobility options for vulnerable populations and communities?

No thanks.
You go ahead, though.
Reading just the credentials, one has to ask, who cares what this idiot thinks. This “professor” will not survive civil war II.
Mobility Justice. Without knowing anything about it, I can confidently say I oppose it. I’m against it. Do not bring up the subject again.
Mobility Justice = Non-Whites ride for free
“Mobility Justice”
Has the left bastardized the word “justice” or what?
Nowadays, anything with “justice” in the title is far from it.
That includes the department.
I’m against it unless it’s about increased parking. I drove up there for a deposition off 6th Street a couple months ago. I drove around for almost half an hour looking for somewhere to park. Now that’s some injustice.
Unlimited free parking is a human right!
Haha!
Take a look at her bio on her we site. Full-fledged commie loon.

Good grief...
These people are in desperate need of some real problems.
They can have my 64 Chevy when they can pry the steering wheel from my cold dead fingers. But then they’ll have my daughter to deal with that time comes.
Bkmk
When are these people going to learn that “justice” actually means a system where losers pay a high price for their indolence? :)
