| 摘要： | In light of recent public emphasis on diversity, equity, and inclusion, there is a renewed urgency to reconsider transportation decision-making practices and policies that lead to inequity in transportation outcomes and identify how new approaches or models might positively impact transportation planning and decision-making. Notably, there is the need to examine the strategies, methods, and techniques for effectively engaging more vulnerable populations in transportation decision-making, including but not necessarily limited to, low-income and minority populations and communities. While several studies and guidebooks have focused on effective public involvement supporting transportation decision-making, including methods to engage low-income, minority, low-English literacy and other vulnerable populations, there is a need to focus research on those methods and strategies that provide meaningful involvement. This is particularly important for low-income and minority communities that often are not engaged in the political process and stand to lose the most if their needs are not considered. . This research shall seek to identify and define what meaningful public engagement consists of and the outcomes that can be achieved in the decision-making process by practicing effective engagement. In so doing, it will seek to identify the most pressing challenges in obtaining the meaningful involvement of minority, low-income, and other vulnerable populations in transportation decision-making. It will build on and reflect the well-documented research on this topic through the lens of recent experience, particularly in light of the effects and challenges that all-virtual public engagement, an outgrowth of COVID-19, has created for agencies and communities. The research should then assess and identify what are determined to be effective approaches for engagement that respond to those challenges that facilitate a more successful decision outcome for state departments of transportation and the full array of communities that they serve. |
