Freight and Environmental Justice

About the Webinar
The movement of goods is essential to urban life, but also generates many problems.  Trucks emit pollution and noise; warehouses and intermodal facilities attract concentrations of trucks and trains.  Research shows that poor and minority populations are more impacted by freight-related pollution. At the same time, poor and minority populations are less likely to enjoy the benefits of instant deliveries or wide assortments of food at local shops.  This webinar provides an overview of freight-related environmental justice problems in the US.
