Welcome to episode 4 of the Wheels and Beyond podcast! Today I'm joined by Luis Patricio, a PhD student and part-time professor specializing in urban mobility and environmental sustainability. Luis, who hasn’t owned a car since 2007, brings a wealth of knowledge and passion for transport justice, making him the perfect guest to discuss how cities can better serve their residents. We recorded this episode in downtown London, Ontario, right on the sidewalk at Dundas Place, to stay true to the podcast’s mission of engaging in conversations about safer streets, traffic reduction, and accessible transportation in the very environments we’re advocating for. In this episode, we dive deep into Luis's thoughts on transport justice, focusing not just on accessibility but on ensuring everyone has the freedom to live, work, and thrive, regardless of how they choose to get around. We also chat about his experience counting cyclists in the city and why it’s crucial for urban planners to have firsthand experience with the transportation systems they’re designing. Tune in to hear more about Luis's insights, his unique perspectives, and some interesting encounters we had while recording in the heart of the city.
