“Bridging the Gap: Transportation Equity > Sustainability”

Transportation options are revolutionizing the way we move from place to place in Massachusetts, and those options can be more equitable and sustainable. Although gas-powered cars still dominate, we see more electric vehicles (cars and buses), scooters, e-bikes, bikes and pedestrian-friendly walkways. 

Join us to learn more about MassDOT’s commitment to transportation equity and a case study of the innovations planned for the Rourke Bridge at Wood Street in Lowell.

  • Speakers: Elizabeth Williams, director of transportation equity, MassDOT; and Robert Pine, vice president of operations at Skanska International
  • Location: ETIC Atrium
  • Date: Sept. 23
  • Time: 5 – 6 p.m.
