Abstract: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 of addressing
environmental justice in planning and projects.
