Digital Infrastructure IS Infrastructure with Jana Lynott

In this episode of Beyond Streets, we talk about how rural mobility, aging in place, and data standards are, amazingly, at the center of a more inclusive, tech-enabled transportation future. We sat down with Jana Lynott—longtime transportation policy expert, livability advocate, and self-proclaimed “transpo geek”—to unpack what it really takes to make our streets and systems work for older adults and underserved communities.

From building smarter dial-a-ride networks to demystifying the link between digital infrastructure and physical access, we explore how to close gaps in mobility, health, and equity. Plus, we take a walk down memory lane with the AARP Livability Index, Complete Streets policies, and how Denmark might just be the blueprint America needs.
