Introducing PTAANZ’s “Women Who Move Nations” Podcast
3/27/2024
Season 7 of PTAANZ’s “Women Who Move Nations” podcast, sponsored by NEC Australia, begins with a dialogue featuring Veronica O. Davis, PE, a passionate transportation champion and author of Inclusive Transportation – A Manifesto for Repairing Divided Communities. PTAANZ (Public Transport Association Australia New Zealand) is APTA’s counterpart in the region and the two organizations enjoy a close relationship, exchanging ideas and collaborating on numerous mutual issues.
Davis discusses the critical role empathy plays in leadership and challenges listeners to cultivate empathy as a tangible skill, one honed by engaging with various communities and their distinct needs. From shifting perspectives on disability to promoting inclusivity, her insights prompt a reassessment of biases and champion a transport network that uplifts all, particularly those on the margins.
