S3 Ep. 30 Exploring Mobility Justice for Transportation Equity with Karishama Vahora

"What mobility justice means to me is that people feel safe, people have access, and people have voice when accessing public resources. And it's not just a system that they use, but a system that they engage in and participate in growing based on what their needs are." In this episode, Karishama Vahora discusses their paper on mobility justice and engaging youth of color in decision making and policy making. Their paper aimed to start conversations around how we create equitable spaces for young people to 1) share their lived experiences with social services and 2) access different resources that we should all have access to. She reminds us to get involved, mobilize our support system, and build relationships with mentors. This paper references the paper titled "Navigating Health Equity Through Mobility Justice: Youth of Color Organizing for Transportation Equity in Our Backyards" by Karishama I. Vahora, BS, Regina M. Dove, BA, Jessica B. Par, BA, Leyila Mustefa, BA, and Brian E. Saelens, PhD.
