Handbook for Addressing Racial Disparities in the Project Delivery Process
项目名称: Handbook for Addressing Racial Disparities in the Project Delivery Process
摘要: During construction of the U.S. Interstate Highway System—a time of significant racial change in the United States—an estimated one million people were displaced. As a result, neighborhoods and communities were destroyed and financial harms to individuals and their families worsened over time. State departments of transportation (DOTs), using eminent domain, displaced people from their homes, businesses, and communities leading to resistance and legal action. Negotiations among federal, state, and local officials ultimately resulted in the enactment of laws and the use of cooperative approaches to mitigate adverse impacts. State DOTs have implemented mitigation measures, but need to build accountability and trust in communities impacted by highway facilities. This study should help DOTs integrate lessons learned to avoid making decisions—related to project delivery—that contribute to racial disparities. The objective of this research is to develop a handbook for state DOTs and local governments to help interpret and implement relevant regulations and policies that avoid racial disparities in project delivery.
