Navigating Mobility Justice with Naomi Doerner

As a growing number of cities develop mobility justice
initiatives, Naomi Doerner, MUP, is helping planners navigate
these efforts to address systemic inequities and barriers in
transportation. Doerner, principal and director of equity,
diversity, and inclusion at  Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates
and former program manager of Seattle's  innovative
Transportation Equity Program, sat down with host Courtney
Kashima, AICP, to talk about what mobility justice looks like in
practice, including some inspirational examples from around the
world.


Doerner is also a co-founder and national co-organizer for the
Untokening, a multiracial collective that centers the lived
experiences of marginalized communities to address mobility
justice and equity. Growing up riding public transit in Chicago
and translating for her mother, Doerner draws on her personal
experience as a translator and navigator to help planners and
municipalities build bridges with communities, so the people
living in them can play a prominent role in determining how
places and spaces serve and support their needs.
