Apparently, some readers aren't taking "transportation justice"
as seriously as others believe they ought.  If they don't, upon hearing
the term, immediately believe in the rightness of the cause, the
correctness of the analysis, and the necessity for immediate action,
they risk being labeled "transportationist".  Of course, this may
leave them wondering whether this is closer to being an 
environmentalist or a classist.

(Actually, this may be another example of "plays well with the 
base", but sounds peculiar [at best] to a broader audience.
I guess it depends on who your intended audience is and what your
objectives are.)
