In cooperation with city officials and community-based organizations, Fort Smith academics are creating a bike share system that serves low-income residents and establishes best practices for equity.
A $1 million grant will help bring bike share, e-scooters, free WiFI, a mobile health clinic and a food pantry to a neighborhood that’s 70% Latino and 42% transit-dependent.
Options range from donating an old fleet to creating new community programming — we examine two different tactics in Portland, Oregon, and Memphis, Tennessee.
On July 17, youth will hit the streets of Chicago for a 15-mile community bike ride that will explore themes of transformative justice and transportation equity.
