T4 America Co-Chair Geoff Anderson discusses expanding transportation options on Destination Casa Blanca
August 2, 2010By Sean Barry
Transportation for America Co-Chair Geoff Anderson participated in a round-table discussion on transportation access facilitated by the Latino-oriented Destination Casa Blanca program. Journalist Ray Suarez hosted the panel, which also included Deron Lovaas of the Natural Resources Defense Council and Joshua Schank of the Bipartisan Policy Center.
Anderson told Suarez and viewers that the absence of affordable and accessible transportation options is “not only an equity and fairness issue, it’s an economic issue.” He also said: “the fact that car ownership is so key to accessing opportunity right now is a reflection of the existing system that we have, that we’re not building a transportation system for everyone.”
Here is a clip from the discussion:
