Former Charlotte mayor and Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx breaks down Mark Robinson's gubernatorial campaign woes and what it means for Democrats in the hotly-contested swing state of North Carolina.

In order to enable an “avalanche of opportunity” that the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law could allow, former US Secretary of Transportation Anthony Foxx believes that we first need to proactively address the systems and processes that led to our current situation.

Public transportation is one of the most critical aspects of our infrastructure, but it is also one of the most imperiled and underfunded. This week's episode looks at how the Bipartisan Infrastructure Plan's historic investment in public transit and other targeted policymaking can build the transportation systems of the future, with guests Stan Caldwell, Eric Goldwyn, Anthony Foxx, and Corey Harper.

Talking to Secretary Fox, it becomes clear that the future of the 15 minute city is not simply technology driven: it's values driven, economics driven, and regulation driven, requiring real-time and deep collaboration between the private and public sectors. From connected vehicles to semi autonomous supply-logistics on land, sea and air the future of mobility is more efficient, but hopefully more human too.

Anthony Foxx on building the long road to transportation equity (Episode 96) by Automotive News

Equity is at the fore of the Biden administration's policies. The former transportation Secretary under President Obama, Anthony Foxx, pushed for equity and interconnectedness before it was on everyone's agenda. CQ Roll Call's Jessica Wehrman has this report.

Ten days before Anthony Foxx was born, a U.S. Supreme Court case determined busing would be used to integrate Charlotte's schools.  Four decades later, Foxx would become the U.S. Secretary of Transportation under the Obama Administration.  On this week's episode of Tying it Together with Tim Boyum, Foxx, who also served as Charlotte’s mayor from 2009-2013, talks about the role transportation and infrastructure played in systemic racism and how building for the future could help reverse past mistakes. Later, Foxx also talks about the time he was President Barack Obama's designated survivor, and whether he has interest in running for public office again.

Whether at the local or federal level, Anthony Foxx knows perhaps better than anybody how transportation can forever transform a community — for better or worse.As U.S. Secretary of Transportation for President Barack Obama and the former mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina, Foxx strived to modernize the American transportation landscape, recognizing how such an agenda could serve as a great equalizer for communities of color. “There’s a reason why we use the phrase ‘other side of the tracks,’” Foxx, now Chief Policy Officer at Lyft, says in this episode of Longitudes Radio. “These systems were used as dividers, and it’s very apparent when you go back into history … infrastructure was weaponized to reinforce the ideas of what was important in a city, who was important in a city and who wasn’t.”The conversation with Foxx kicks off a three-part podcast series exploring how we can create more business opportunities for Black entrepreneurs — both today and tomorrow. In upcoming episodes, we’ll examine the Black business landscape through the eyes of an up-and-coming small business owner and take a more academic look at systematic, pervasive challenges unique to the Black business community.As for Foxx, he highlights how the coronavirus pandemic brought certain policy challenges to the forefront, what has changed since his days in the Obama administration — and what hasn’t — and whether we’re on the verge of a truly breakthrough moment in the pursuit of a more just and inclusive society.“There is a much richer conversation occurring in this country about racial unrest and the legacy of slavery and things that were subterranean,” Foxx says. “But they’re very much on the surface and in people’s minds today.”And what about futuristic technologies like drones, autonomous vehicles and artificial intelligence? Foxx says we’re on the verge of a “transportation revolution,” a movement that will allow opportunistic businesses to pivot alongside society at large. On a personal note, Foxx harkens back to his adolescent years, when he was told he had to be “twice as good” as his peers simply because of the color of his skin — and whether he still possesses that mindset as a father now.“I don’t want him to feel like he has to be perfect,” Foxx says of his message to his 14-year-old son. “I want him to be comfortable being himself, and I want him to be comfortable saying what he thinks … if we can give our kids the gift of owning their perspective and their worldview and being comfortable in that, that would be a great step forward.”

Petra Molnar joined us to discuss her new paper which looks at the human rights impact of automated decision-making and immigration. Bio Petra Molnar (@PMolnar) is a refugee lawyer and researcher based in Toronto, Canada. She is a former refugee settlement worker who has researched forced migration issues in Canada and internationally including immigration detention, health and human rights, and gender-based violence.

She earned her Juris Doctorate from the University of Toronto Faculty of Law and Master of Arts, Social Antropology, at York University. Resources Thinking Forward Network Bots at the Gate: A Human Rights Analysis of Automated Decision-Making in Canada’s Immigration and Refugee System by Petra Molnar (University of Toronto, 2018) News Roundup GAO: “Nearly all” U.S. weapons systems are susceptible to cyber attack The Government Accountability Office issued a report last week saying that “nearly all” weapons systems reviewed for weaknesses between 2012-2017 were vulnerable to cyberattacks. Testers were able to exploit the security holes using relatively simple tools and techniques, with one team taking only about an hour to hack into the weapons system. A key risk factor among these technologies is that many of them are interconnected, allowing them to transfer information more easily. Ryan Browne has more over at CNN. Lawmakers demand answers from Google Top Senate Republicans on the Commerce Committee delivered a letter to Google on Thursday demanding answers about why Google failed to disclose a privacy vulnerability in Google Plus immediately when it discovered it last March. Senators Thune, Moran, and Wicker are especially concerned that Google Chief Privacy Officer didn’t disclose the breach during his Senate testimony several weeks ago. Democrats too are jumping into the fray. Senators Blumenthal, Markey and Udall wrote a separate letter to the Federal Trade Commission requesting an investigation into the Google Plus privacy breach. An independent audit conducted by Ernst and Young had approved Google’s security practices earlier this year. Google drops out of Pentagon bid Google has decided to drop out of the competition to handle the Pentagon’s cloud computing infrastructure. The contract was worth up to $10 billion. Google said it couldn’t be sure that the contract would align with its AI principles. Thousands of Google employees had signed a letter starting back in April asking Google to withdraw. Republicans warn of Chinese efforts to sway the midterms Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and FBI Director Christopher Wray both stated at a Senate committee hearing last week that China is attempting to sway the U.S. midterm election. However, they did not say that there is any evidence that China is interfering with the U.S.’s election infrastructure. Nielsen said that China’s efforts to sway public opinion are unprecedented. Wray says that China is the most significant long-term threat to U.S. counterintelligence the U.S. faces. Warner/Rubio ask Canada to ban Huawei from 5G Senators Marco Rubio and Mark Warner sent a letter to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last week urging him to ban China-based company Huawei from participating in Canada’s 5G deployment program. The Senators accuse Huawei of being an agent of the Chinese government. Lyft taps Anthony Foxx to head up its policy team Lyft has tapped former Obama Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx to head up its policy team. Foxx will report directly to Lyft President John Zimmer. Group warns of malicious emailed ballots Apparently there are a few jurisdictions that permit voters to submit their ballots via email as an attachment. But election security groups including Common Cause and R St. are warning election officials that these ballots could come laden with malicious software that could grant a hacker backdoor access to election systems. So elections officials need to be wary of malicious ballots submitted by unknown persons. According to the U.S. Elections Assistance Commission, some 100,000 voters submitted ballots via email during the 2016 presidential election.

What is "infrastructure" actually? In the 19th and 20th century, that usually meant the transportation systems supporting roadways, airports, trains... but we don't even really know yet what it might potentially mean in the age of rapidly changing technology, autonomous vehicles, drones, and self-driving cars. In this episode, a16z's Matthew Colford discusses the infrastructure of the future with Anthony Foxx, former secretary of transportation under the Obama administration and former mayor of Charlotte, North Carolina; Keller Rinaudo, CEO of Zipline; and Jase Wilson, CEO of Neighborly. The truth of the matter, says Secretary Foxx, is that we are still a society under construction. How do we think about not just modernizing the 19th century structures we inherited but making new infrastructure for the future anew -- as well as the possibilities of democratizing and crowdsourcing urban planning and public projects?

The buzz: “Cities are never random” (Neal Shusterman). The future of viable smart cities around the globe is being shaped by two major forces: accelerated urbanization and mobility technology innovations. But the path is still littered with formidable roadblocks: investment challenges, interoperation issues and acceptance. How soon will the road be paved – and will it be with gold? The experts speak. Larry Stolle, SAP: “Smart cities are those who manage their resources efficiently. Traffic, public services and disaster response….” (Eduardo (de Costa) Paes). Heather Ashton, IDC: “Imagine if we focused on optimizing roads for the total number of people on them instead of the total number of vehicles” (Mark Fields). Ruthbea Yesner Clarke, IDC: “Everywhere I go, I see incredible examples of communities that have a vision for transportation and how it will impact the quality of life, mobility, economics and opportunity (Anthony Foxx). Join us for Paving the Road to Smart Cities.

The buzz: Patience is a virtue…They've been arriving since the 1930s. But when will one (or more) autonomous vehicles be in your garage? It depends on the roadblocks ahead. Relatively easy issues: technology and standards tweaks, societal adoption, safety-proofing, benefits clarification. The complex, costly challenge: existing infrastructures must be developed, modified and well-financed to support the technology of driverless vehicles. Are you patient? The experts speak. Heather Ashton, IDC: “The axis of the earth sticks out visibly through the centre of each and every town or city” (Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.). Otto Schell, GM: “Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forward” (Soren Kierkegaard). Larry Stolle, SAP: “The reality about transportation is that it is infrastructure oriented. If we are planning for what we have, we are behind the curve!” (Anthony Foxx, U.S. Sec'y of Transportation). Join us for Autonomous Vehicles Now: Impact on Smart Cities.
