Abstract:

Metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) have long been required to consider the equity implications

of their regional transportation plans and processes. Funded by the National Institute for Transportation

and Communities, this research aims to provide additional guidance to MPOs on how to evaluate

distributional equity in regional plans and projects. The report begins with an overview of federal

requirements related to equity in transportation planning. We then synthesize contemporary methods for

measuring transportation equity and the distributional effects of plans and projects from a review of the

literature and MPO plans and studies. The report concludes with exploratory case studies of equity

analysis in two regions representing distinctly different planning contexts and stages of addressing

equity, and a summary of key methods to serve as a resource for use by MPOs in integrating equity into

the regional transportation planning process.
