摘要: |
In 2004 the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) funded the Center for Transportation Research at The University of Texas at Austin to develop a methodology to evaluate the environmental justice (EJ) impacts of toll roads given four scenarios: (a) the construction of new toll road(s), (b) converting existing non-toll roads to toll roads, (c) the tolling of capacity enhancements (e.g., additional main lanes or frontage roads to existing facilities), and (d) the conversion of planned non-toll roads to toll roads upon completion. This report documents the research performed in developing the EJ evaluation methodology to identify, measure, and mitigate disproportionately high or adverse impacts imposed on minority and low-income (EJ) communities by toll roads compared to non-toll roads. / NOTE: Technical rept.
