I work in urban planning, and our city council is drafting a new climate action plan focused on reducing transportation emissions. While the goals are ambitious, I'm concerned the proposed policies, like expanded bike lanes and EV charging incentives, may not adequately address the needs of lower-income residents who rely on older, less efficient vehicles for long commutes. For policy analysts or advocates, what are the most effective and equitable models you've seen for integrating climate goals with transportation justice, ensuring decarbonization efforts don't disproportionately burden vulnerable communities?
