Proposed Metrobus cuts continue a long, intertwined history of transit and race

In this post I wrote for Greater Greater Washington, I make the case that the proposed cuts to WMATA bus routes will have harm people-of-color the most…

“The struggle for equitable public transportation began as a fight for the civil rights of transit riders and workers. It remains so today, as WMATA considers cuts to bus service across the region….”

I have received a lot of positive feedback on this post and have even been informed that a couple local justice organizations are reevaluating how they prioritize WMATA as a key component of their racial justice program work.

Please read it and share as these cuts are still in the negotiation phase.
