Abstract:As part of the requirements for receiving federal funds, ODOT is responsible for successfully integrating environmental justice (EJ) into its program and planning activities. Environmental justice requires ODOT to avoid, minimize, or mitigate disproportionately high and adverse effects of its activities on minority populations and low-income populations; ensure their full and fair participation; and prevent the denial of benefits to them.
ODOT Research recently completed a project to assemble a Geographic Information System (GIS) database which would identify census tracts and block groups statewide where low-income and minority populations reside.
