City Talks

Dec 16 2021 • 31 mins

Welcome to another episode of City Talks, brought to you by Ford Motor Company, with this week’s special guest Seleta Reynolds, the General Manager of the Los Angeles Department of Transportation and former President of the National Association of City Transportation Officials! Join Andrew Winston, speaker, Author of Net Positive and Adviser to Multinationals as the two discuss working through the needs and challenges cities face today – and how they’re helping create safer, more accessible and more sustainable mobility options for millions.

Today’s show is all about the experiences of women, children, and members of the transgender community on transportation and shared mobility. Listen as Seleta takes us through the important findings from the LADOT ‘Changing Lanes’ Report, a recent study that examined the challenges surrounding how women and children experience transportation. Hear about what prompted a gender-based approach to studying how women and children integrate into the transportation system and what is being done to create positive change. Also, learn how data is helping shape transportation experiences and how our cities are using data to make mobility and travel more equitable and safe for all gender identities. Hear about some of the experiences and progress that are being made to address the mobility needs of transgender individuals throughout the community. The two also touch on how COVID-19 has had an impact on transportation and some of the changes that have been implemented in a post-COVID world.

Find out if any of these changes to mobility factor into inequitable transportation experiences and how these factors are being addressed in a way that keeps us both safe from infection and also provides positive experiences with mobility. Come along as we explore how to make both cities and transportation more human-centered and create service-oriented approaches to mobility. This is City Talks, presented by the Ford Motor Company!
