For years, transportation systems, including aviation, have operated within a framework that has resulted in systemic inequality and even overt racism. To address this, airports have begun implementing new organizational dynamics and approaches.
TRB's Transportation Insights 1: Systemic Inequality in the Airport Industry: Exploring the Racial Divide provides a summary of an in-person TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program (ACRP) Insight Event. The event identified common manifestations of systemic inequality in an airport setting and the unique challenges airports face as they strive to be more diverse, equitable, and inclusive. Examples of practices undertaken by airports and similar industries are also included. The report will be helpful in fostering communication and collaboration on the topic and help identify areas of future interest and research.
