Transit to Trailheads: Navigating Equitable and Eco-Friendly Access

  • Resumen

  • From microtransit to gondolas to reservation systems, how do we ensure access to the backcountry is sustainable and equitable? Do we build parking lots and infrastructure to improve access? Or do we limit infrastructure to give greater opportunities for solitude and to give the resource a rest? Gary Kofinas, Jay Erickson, and Anthony Cupaiuolo share their innovative ideas on how to access the heart of public lands—efficiently, equitably and sustainably. Speaker Bios: Gary serves as Chair of the Teton Backcountry Alliance and is Professor Emeritus in Resource Policy and Management at the University of Alaska. Before that, he directed and instructed experiential education programs internationally. Jay has a strong passion for transportation equity and ensuring that all humans can experience the soul-nourishing nature that so many of us have built our lives around.
