NO BUSES, NO PEACE!
Ansje Miller sends word from a conference on transportation and justice

The sprawling, disconnected modern U.S. city, where the wealthy live 
in peripheral suburbs and the working class lives in the center, has 
created a kind of "transit apartheid," according to participants at 
last weekend's Future of Transportation Conference in Los Angeles. 
SUVs on their way to and from the 'burbs commit drive-by pollution, 
while inadequate funding reduces transportation options for those in 
the city core.  Activist Ansje Miller describes the ideas and energy 
presented at the conference and, unusual for environmental 
gatherings, the diversity of voices -- in Dispatches, today on the 
Grist Magazine website.
