Highway Robbery- Transportation Racism and New Routes to Equity

Highway Robbery

Transportation Racism and New Routes to Equity:

Transportation Racism: New Routes to Equity dispels a major myth that conceals enduring divisions in American life. While many people view the Civil Rights Act of 1964 as the end of government-sponsored discrimination in the United States, Transportation Racism confirms the obvious and ignored truth: equality in transportation has been established in name only. Case by case, Transportation Racism shows how-a half-century after the Montgomery bus boycotts-chronic inequality in public transportation is firmly and nationally entrenched.

Coast to coast, equal access to healthy, reliable, and practical transportation eludes many people, the majority of them poor people and people of color. The effects of this injustice are broad and deep. Access to transportation, public and private, determines the physical and social mobility necessary for admission to larger social, economic, and civic worlds. For millions of people, exclusion from transportation networks means drastically compromised life choices. Their jeopardized health and limited economic opportunities are then compounded by the day-to-day indignities and feelings of frustration and isolation resulting from publicly funded segregation.

The authors illustrate the insidious contributions of transportation policy and urban planning to the establishment and enforcement of racial and economic inequality. Written in recognition of activists like Ella Baker and Rosa Parks, Transportation Racism lays the groundwork for future transit rights organizers.

Transportation Racism asserts that staying the current course will further polarize communities on the basis of class and color, and the powerful evidence marshaled by the authors in this anthology demands that cities and states revisit their public transportation agendas.

Robert Bullard's Dumping in Dixie and Confronting Environmental Racism were seminal works in the establishment of Environmental Justice as a movement and an academic field.

• Review:: 'worth reading but poorly edited The basic purpose of this book is to show how our transportation funding system makes the poor (and especially racial minorities) worse off. The book is an anthology of essays, mostly case studies from various cities (including Atlanta, Los Angeles, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, San Francisco and New York City). A few of the more interesting assertions: *Martin Luther King was writing about transportation issues before his death; in a posthumously published essay, he wrote that public transit is "a valid civil rights issue" because the availability of transit "determines the accessibility of jobs to the black community" (p. 17). *Discriminatory policies not only affect the balance of spending between highways and transit, but also affect public transit policy. For example, Pittsburgh's planners have given Pittsburgh's white southern suburbs a clean, quiet light rail system, but have given its poorer, blacker East End a louder, more polluting busway system- even though East Enders are more likely to use public transit. *Even poor drivers lose from our auto-oriented status quo. Families earning less than $14,000 per year after taxes spend 40% of their take home pay on transportation, as opposed to 13% for families earning over $72,000. *In 1935, families spent 10% of their budgets on transportation. Today, they spend 20% - perhaps explaining why so many people feel financially stressed. *The claim that highways "pay for themselves" overlooks negative externalities such as the effects of highways on city neighborhoods: poor, carless people get all the air pollution from nearby highways without any of the benefits. However, some essays in the book are not as well done as others. Some essays contain the sort of left-wing rhetoric that is likely to alienate anyone to the left of Dennis Kucinich, and/or are indifferent to complex trade-offs. For example, the New York City essay discusses a community's desire to keep traffic off its surface streets (p. 81). But where traffic is encouraged to move to expressways (even tunneled expressways, the community's preferred remedy) suburban migration, and thus disinvestment from the city, is more convenient and neighborhood merchants might lose business. By contrast, the San Francisco essay (one of the better essays in the collection) discusses numerous issues that the authors acknowledged to be close calls.

Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Ninth Edition

• Review:: 'Excellent, but short of goal... This book and DVD is probably the best written text for EMT-B there is. Take the time (a lot!) to read it thoroughly. It does miss the mark if you solely rely on it to take the National EMT-B test: press your instructor's for the many detail's not in this book that are on the test if you want to pass!
• Review:: 'Informative, Thorough, and Complete This book is everything an EMT book should be. It's clear, precise, and it leaves nothing to the imagination. There are a ton of pictures, diagrams, step-by-step instructions on how to perform basic lifesaving tasks, and much more. I have learned more from this book than any other EMS book available.
• Review:: 'Emergency Care and Transportation of the Sick and Injured, Ninth Edition (Purchased on 01/11/2006) It's horriable. I still havn't recieved it, and the dates you say the item will ship keep changing. This is for a class, and we've reached mid-term and I still have not recieved this book. It's a good thing i found a loner, won't be buying class materials from amazon anymore. Denny Hostetler denny@sopris.net
