Episode 18 - Beatrize Stephen-Pons on Daily Transportation Experiences

Hello! Welcome back to Micromobility DC! It has been a while since the last episode because I've been doing a lot of non-podcast work and travel (that has led to a whole host of new understandings around micromobility)! This podcast has covered micromobility mostly from a sport perspective the past few episodes (many marathon training episodes!), but this episode delves into our daily movements from an infrastructure accessibility angle.

For this episode, I had the opportunity to speak to the Urban Institute's incredibly knowledgeable Beatrize Stephen-Pons. I met Beatrize at the Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting (TRBAM) in January.  During this conversation, Beatrize covers how she began studying public transportation accessibility and its effects on previously incarcerated populations, viewing transportation through a feminist lens, her experiences traveling around the US and learning about different cities' public transportation offerings, and a bit of what she learned from attending TRBAM.

It was a joy to delve into public transportation and beyond with Beatrize - I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.

Thanks to Dan Hoffman for the soundtrack! Thanks to you for listening!
