Civil Rights/Affirmative Action
Effective Practices
The Federal Highway
Administration (FHWA) and the
Federal Transit
Administration (FTA) have compiled examples of how states, metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and transit service providers are
integrating the principles of Environmental Justice into their varied activities. The examples illustrate that successful initiatives promote public
participation, partnerships and collaborative relationships with other government agencies as well as interested advocacy or community based
organizations.
The effective practices highlighted the delivered benefits to affected low-income and minority populations and the tangible and intangible benefits
the transportation agencies received.
