DIVERSITY & EQUITY
Transportation projects have long-lasting physical impacts on communities, and it is important to evaluate fairness and equity as part of the development of transportation policies and funding decisions. No group of people – by race, ethnicity or socio-economic status – should bear a disproportionate share of negative impacts as a result of decisions made at the federal, state, regional or local levels.
