Imagine you're on a plane and the announcement goes out: "Is there a transportation engineer or an urban planner on board?" The Union of Concerned Scientists is the flight crew, and we're making that call for transportation experts to take on the urgent work of confronting the climate crisis and creating a healthier, more just transportation system. Our Science Network includes tens of thousands of scientists, public health professionals, and other experts using their voices for change. But we need folks with transportation expertise. You understand the ways in which we must transform how we get around - and you can play an even bigger role by leveraging your expertise to help shape and inform mobility policies at all levels of government. Whether you work in the public sector, private sector, or are seeking a career in the mobility field, join us and USDOT policy advisor Liya Rechtman at this virtual event (July 25, noon Eastern) to build advocacy skills that will help advance equitable, low-carbon mobility.
Transportation experts have a key role in advancing climate and equity. Join UCS and USDOT Policy Advisor Liya Rechtman for a webinar to leverage your expertise to shape a clean, just, multimodal transportation future. Thursday, July 25, 12pm ET. Register: https://lnkd.in/eh2ntAZ6
