- COLLABORATE: Our entire TREC team is engaged in this work, while seeking input and feedback from diverse voices engaged in transportation research, education, and practice, including our students, researchers, faculty, and community partners. We will apply an intersectional framework into our work and who we engage with.
- ELEVATE: We must partner with and promote the work and efforts of others, particularly Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) voices. We won’t be successful if we rely solely on our own team and work.
- COMPENSATE: We recognize that the people we ask to assist in our efforts are contributing their knowledge and experience and should be compensated.
- LEARN: We will pause and reassess, because we cannot assume what we’re doing is working. We may not get everything right, but in the process we’ll learn and change.
