Reckoning With Transit Equity

TheCenter for Economic Inclusionis dedicated exclusively to advancing inclusive growth for regional prosperity. We connect communities excluded by Race, Place, and Income with cross-sector leaders to cooperatively design an exciting new blueprint for growth that leverages market forces and our region's diversity. We highlight data-driven promising practices; advocate for inclusive policies; coordinate cross-sector, community driven-development; pilot strategies that close racial and economic gaps; and measure and collectively define progress to shape a regional economy that works for everyone.

Center for Economic Inclusion

Every Thursday in February, learn what it will take to reimagine and build an economy that works for everyone in our region and beyond.
