Equity in
Active Transportation & Safety

Sponsored by the Transportation Research Board, we are developing a tool to help state departments of transportation (DOTs) ensure that traditionally underserved communities benefit from safety investments and active transportation plans. This tool will be informed by research on how populations have been racialized by societal structures and institutions, and will incorporate methods to engage community members and other stakeholders in decision-making. Finally, this research will evaluate how the effects of past decisions can inform future decisions to improve mobility outcomes.
