How we power that movement is a critical factor for climate change. Transportation is one of the city's largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions — making it a key piece of the region's necessary climate solutions. This panel brings together leaders in transit advocacy, neighborhood planning, land use and zoning, and community-based health care to explore how Boston can design for access while reducing emissions. We'll examine how transit-centered land use, zoning reform, and equitable permitting can connect residents to essential services; how public transit investment and municipal fleet electrification can accelerate decarbonization; and how low-carbon mobility options can reduce household costs while improving air quality and public health. Panelists will explore the connections between environmental justice, public transit, neighborhood planning, and green infrastructure — and how Boston can align its climate commitments with lived community needs.Show MoreClick the title to see all detailsShow More
