Applications for the Nacto and Better Bike Share Partnership 2023-24 Transportation Justice Fellowship are open.

It is aimed at US-based, early- and mid-career professionals of colour "who are working to embed mobility justice in transportation agency priorities and beyond".

The Fellowship runs from November 2023 to June 2024, and this year focuses on shared micromobility as a means of supporting equity in transport.

Eight Fellows will receive 50 hours of programming, including training with consultants, visits from transport experts and one-on-one coaching.

"Applicants should have familiarity with bike and scooter share, as well as a desire to learn more," the organisers say.

Applications must be in by Friday, 22 September, with successful applicants will be notified the week of 16 October, 2023.
