What we talk about when we talk about inclusive mobility

Both policymakers and academics have seen an increase in the amount of attention given to inclusive mobility over the past several years. Everyone wants transportation systems to be more inclusive but people often approach discussions on inclusive mobility with different ideas about what it means and how to accomplish it. This workshop will have participants reflect on exclusions faced by certain people and certain groups. This will involve an introductory discussion followed by a serious game where participants will confront the transportation realities faced by many on a daily basis and relate that to a broader understanding of inclusive mobility.

Matthew Bruno, TU Delft

As a postdoc working with the Smart Public Transport Lab in the Transportation and Planning Department of Delft Technical University, my current research focuses on inclusive mobility. Through funding from the Amsterdam Transport Region, my three year project takes an expansive view of inclusive mobility and seeks to investigate all of the barriers that might keep people from getting where they want to go. Prior to completing my PhD at Eindhoven Technical University, I worked with various transportation planning agencies in the San Francisco Bay Area.
