Dr. Sevgi Erdogan to participate on panel discussion about non-car transportation in DC suburbs

Street Justice is hosting a panel discussion — Non-Car Transportation in the DC’s Suburbs; Challenges and Ideas — on Wednesday, January 27th from Noon to 2 PM ET. Dr. Sevgi Erdogan, Director of the Transportation Policy Research Group at NCSG, will participate.

Participants include local elected officials, subject matter experts, and advocates. Street Justice founder and reporter Gordon Chaffin will moderate two sessions.

The goal is to inform and equip viewers: identifying projects, policies, and systems where citizen participation can push for more transportation options, more environmental sustainability, and more livable communities where travel is safe and healthy.
