Equity Analysis in Regional Transportation Planning Processes, Volume 2: Research Overview
Transportation agencies that manage federally funded programs and projects are responsible
for ensuring that their plans, programs, policies, services, and investments benefit everyone
in their jurisdictions equitably.
The TRB Transit Cooperative Research Program's
TCRP Research Report 214: Equity Analysis in Regional Transportation Planning Processes, Volume 2: Research Overview describes
the results of the research effort and identifies ways in which equity in public transportation
can be analyzed and adapted by Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) in partnership with transit
agencies. This report discusses research findings and recommendations organized around a five-step equity analysis framework that is built upon a foundation of public involvement.
A separate report,
TCRP Research Report 214: Equity Analysis in Regional Transportation Planning Processes, Volume 1: Guide
is designed to help MPOs analyze and address equity
effectively in
long-range, regional, multimodal transportation planning and programming processes. The reports provide information about methods, tools, and resources that
agencies can use to support plans and programs that are compliant with equity-related
federal requirements.
