TRB Webinar: Balancing the Scales--Equity Analysis in Transportation Planning
181229

TRB Webinar: Balancing the Scales--Equity Analysis in Transportation Planning

Historically, certain individuals and communities, including those from minority, low-income, and limited English proficiency populations, have not benefited equitably from transportation investments and programs. Understanding the impacts of transportation investments on these individuals and communities and taking steps to address inequities are critical functions of transportation agencies. TRB cohosted a webinar with COMTO on Thursday, October 22, 2020 from 2:00 to 3:30 pm Eastern to help transportation planners develop and implement equity analyses that address the unique contexts of their communities. The interactive presentation lays out a five-step framework for conducting equity analyses for regional transportation plans and programs, illustrated by case studies.

This webinar is sponsored by TRB and COMTO. The webinar is based on TCRP Research Report 214: Guide to Equity Analysis in Regional Transportation Planning Processes.
 
The presenters' slides are available.

1) Understanding equity definitions and requirements for more robust considerations in transportation planning: Hannah Twaddell & Sherry Steine, ICF
2)  Structured needs assessment and population-weighted approach for multimodal connectivity in low-income and minority areas: Nick Gill, Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission 3)  Conveying equity analyses findings through communications strategies and public outreach techniques: Grace Cho, Metro
