摘要：	This report presents the findings of a study sponsored by the Georgia Department of Transportation (GDOT): Impact of Environmental Justice (EJ) on Transportation Planning. The objectives of the study were to determine the state of the practice of EJ in Transportation, assess the status of EJ implementation at GDOT, and make recommendations for next steps for the agency to enhance its capabilities for demonstrating EJ outcomes. The study was conducted through a review of the EJ and Transportation literature to determine common and effective practices; an internal assessment of GDOTs policies, programs and activities in EJ; the development of a maturation model based on a comparison of the Federal guidelines for EJ in Transportation with the state of the practice in state Departments of Transportation (DOTs); a targeted survey of state DOTs with common and effective practices, and a gap analysis applying the maturation model to the surveyed state DOTs and GDOT to determine next steps for GDOT to enhance its capabilities for demonstrating EJ outcomes. The maturation model depicts various phases of EJ policies, programs and activities at state DOTs, with respect to achieving EJ outcomes. This model was applied to nine different programs to benchmark GDOTs program along a range of maturing programs and to help identify opportunities to enhance the program at GDOT. The maturation model includes a first phase that focuses on putting policies, processes and tools in place for involving target groups in project development and evaluating the disproportionality of benefits and burdens. The second phase of the model focuses on evaluating the outcomes of EJ actions (in terms of both benefits and burdens) either through technical analysis or evaluation of the general public or target groups. The third phase focuses on linking the EJ analysis results (from the second phase) with resource allocation decisions, and the development of policies to ensure that intended EJ outcomes are being met.
