Back of the Bus: Mass transit, race, and inequality is a really interesting story about transportation (especially mass transit, but not exclusively) as a civil rights issue, with two case studies from St Paul. It’s available by reading text at a web site (with all the relevant links for further info) as well as a podcast from American Radioworks, in collaboration with Transportation Nation.

Makes me wonder: What will the biking and walking movement look like once we embrace a multi-cultural vision of these modes of transportation? It won’t involve so much specialized equipment, for one thing. It won’t be much about the equipment at all.
