Book Synopsis Environmental Justice and Transportation Investment Policy by : David J. Forkenbrock
Download or read book Environmental Justice and Transportation Investment Policy written by David J. Forkenbrock and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this project has been to develop a series of practical indicators of economic, social, and environmental impacts related to transportation system changes. Comparing the spatial incidence of these impacts with the locations of low-income populations and minority populations, it is possible to assess whether the impacts would adversely and disproportionately affect these populations. Our intent is to help make it possible for everyone who is likely to be affected by a particular transportation system change to understand the expected types and magnitudes of anticipated impacts. The objective of such an understanding is to enable those who would be affected to determine which impacts would be most important to them.

Book Synopsis Environmental Justice & Transportation by : Shannon Cairns
Download or read book Environmental Justice & Transportation written by Shannon Cairns and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental justice is an increasingly important element of policymaking in transportation and is fundamentally about fairness toward the disadvantaged, often addressing the exclusion of racial and ethnic minorities from decisionmaking. This handbook is intended to help those who are new to transportation decision processes influence how environmental justice is incorporated into decisions about transportation policy and projects. Various approaches to environmental justice are discussed, along with steps in the planning process when citizen involvement is particularly effective, suggestions for how environmental justice can be included in a project, and legal requirements for environmental justice implementation.

Download or read book An Evaluation of Environmental Justice and Environmental Equity written by and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental Justice and transportation equity concerns pertain to discriminatory outcomes in planning, operation and maintenance, and infrastructure development by state and metropolitan systems. On February 11,1994, President Bill Clinton signed Executive Order 12898, Federal Actions to Address Environmental Justice in Minority Populations and Low-Income Populations. Two major federal laws, the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) and Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, are highlighted in the Executive Order. This study provides an overview of literature and case studies regarding Environmental Justice issues and concerns. Additionally, the study includes survey responses of state DOT's and MPO's about their methods and viewpoints of addressing environmental justice in planning and projects.

Book Synopsis Environmental Justice Research Study by : Debora Van Orden
Download or read book Environmental Justice Research Study written by Debora Van Orden and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The research for this study began with a literature review of the existing rules and regulations at federal and state levels pertaining to environmental justice (EJ). This literature search was followed by phone interviews with several transportation organizations and agencies around the country and within CDOT. The surveys were conducted to assess the processes currently in place related to EJ in the context of transportation planning. The next step in the research was to evaluate the best way to define, identify, and locate minority populations and low-income populations within the State at the planning level. Having identified where the low-income households and minority populations reside in the State, a successful public involvement program needs to occur to seek out these targeted population groups in order to provide opportunities for involvement in the transportation planning decision-making process. Implementation: To provide consistency in the application of an environmental justice analysis for statewide and regional transportation planning purposes, it is recommended that the definitions and identification methodologies for low-income and minority populations be incorporated into the statewide planning process. Suggested changes to four of CDOT's planning documents are provided: CDOT Metropolitan Planning Organization Guidance Manual, Colorado Department of Transportation Guidelines for Public Involvement in Statewide Transportation Planning and Programming, CDOT Regional Transportation Planning Guidebook, and Rules and Regulations for the Statewide Transportation Planning Process and Transportation Planning Regions.
Book Synopsis Environmental and Behavioral Perspectives of Active Transportation by : Yicong Yang
Download or read book Environmental and Behavioral Perspectives of Active Transportation written by Yicong Yang and published by . This book was released on 2023 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation addresses three gaps in the existing literature: the unexplained ineffectiveness of built environment interventions, the preferences for active travel behavior under a combination of environmental benefits and risks, and the pathways from active transportation investments to behavioral change. Three studies are designed to address these gaps, with broad implications for public health, environmental justice, transportation equity, and travel behavior research, offering insights for more effective policy and planning initiatives. The first study is a systematic review of planning and public health literature worldwide, with a particular focus on null or unexpected behavioral outcomes resulting from changes in the built environment interventions. The literature analysis offers four perspectives that shed light on why large-scale infrastructure development tends to be less successful, including considerations of individuals' activity budgets, the time required for interventions to become effective, regional context variations, and behavioral change mechanisms. Active transportation infrastructure provides opportunities for physical activity and improves health, but adverse environmental conditions like air pollution, traffic hazards, and urban heat islands can be deterrents to active travel behavior. The second study conducts a stated preference survey on a representative sample of 3,000 adults in the US and uses discrete choice modeling to explore how street users trade off health benefits and risks of utility and leisure walking. Data analysis reveals that poor air quality is the most significant concern for pedestrians, and respondents prioritize a comfortable temperature. Moreover, the study contributes to the environmental justice literature by uncovering that disadvantaged population groups have lower expectations of favorable environmental quality when making travel decisions. The third study compiles a longitudinal dataset covering 260 Core-Based Statistical Areas across the United States by integrating multiple data sources. It aims to examine the pathways from active transportation investments to active travel and overall physical activity. The study also explores the potential mediation effects of pedestrian and bicycle fatality variables along this pathway. The findings indicate that federal funding appropriation for active transportation projects alone is inadequate to bring about significant changes in active transportation outcomes. The mediation analysis also reveals no significant pathways, indicating that pedestrian and bicycle fatalities do not display a significant association with both federal-level active transportation investment and active travel behaviors.

Download or read book Community Impact Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide was written as a quick primer for transportation professionals and analysts who assess the impacts of proposed transportation actions on communities. It outlines the community impact assessment process, highlights critical areas that must be examined, identifies basic tools and information sources, and stimulates the thought-process related to individual projects. In the past, the consequences of transportation investments on communities have often been ignored or introduced near the end of a planning process, reducing them to reactive considerations at best. The goals of this primer are to increase awareness of the effects of transportation actions on the human environment and emphasize that community impacts deserve serious attention in project planning and development-attention comparable to that given the natural environment. Finally, this guide is intended to provide some tips for facilitating public involvement in the decision making process.
Book Synopsis Rights in Transit by : Kafui Ablode Attoh
Download or read book Rights in Transit written by Kafui Ablode Attoh and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2019 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is public transportation a right? Should it be? For those reliant on public transit, the answer is invariably "yes" to both. Indeed, when city officials propose slashing service or raising fares, it is these riders who are often the first to appear at that officials' door demanding their "right" to more service. Rights in Transit starts from the presumption that such riders are justified. For those who lack other means of mobility, transit is a lifeline. It offers access to many of the entitlements we take as essential: food, employment, and democratic public life itself. While accepting transit as a right, this book also suggests that there remains a desperate need to think critically, both about what is meant by a right and about the types of rights at issue when public transportation is threatened. Drawing on a detailed case study of the various struggles that have come to define public transportation in California's East Bay, Rights in Transit offers a direct challenge to contemporary scholarship on transportation equity. Rather than focusing on civil rights alone, Rights in Transit argues for engaging the more radical notion of the right to the city.
