State departments of transportation (DOTs) are increasingly acknowledging that communities historically overburdened with health and social inequities have in the past experienced fewer benefits and a greater share of negative impacts associated with our transportation system in both rural and urban geographies. Some of these disparities reflect a history of transportation decision-making, planning, policies, and processes in funding that have resulted in barriers, divided communities, and amplified inequities. These historical and ongoing injustices continue to inhibit access to critical destinations like health care, education, recreation, and more.
The objective of this synthesis is to document state DOT practices to promote equity in programmatic and discretionary funding plans, policies, and processes for both capital and operational projects, potentially through distribution methodologies, formulas, tools, or evaluation criteria. |
