Move Utah Webinar Series
Welcome to the Move Utah free webinar series! These webinars will be focused on topics related to Active Transportation planning and implementation throughout Utah.
Move Utah hosted the first of a two-part webinar last week entitled “The Intersection of Equity & Diversity: Impacts on Underserved Communities.” This engaging virtual event focused on the literal and figurative intersection of the built environment and its impacts on diverse and underserved communities.
The Move Utah March webinar will continue the discussion of equity and diversity in transportation planning and implementation. This webinar will contextualize the issues with Utah-specific examples from local subject-matter experts and representatives from diverse and underserved communities. Panelists will also highlight what is being done to proactively plan for a more equitable future transportation system.
