  • Abstract:
    Connected vehicles (CVs) and automated vehicles (AVs) are two rapidly emerging technologies with the potential to transform our communities and transportation system on a larger scale than anything we have seen since the construction of the U.S. Interstate Highway system. These technologies have justifiably led to high expectations for increased safety and mobility. CVs and AVs also hold strong promise to address the transportation needs of environmental justice (EJ) populations, but barriers to access may affect the full realization of the technologies’ benefits. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) defines EJ populations as low-income populations or minority populations who will be affected similarly by a proposed program, policy, or other activity funded by FHWA. As policy discussions, planning, and implementation for CVs and vehicle automation proceed, decision-makers should consider equity concerns and pursue policies to ensure that EJ populations do not experience disproportionately high and adverse human health or environmental effects. Adverse effects may include the denial of, reduction in, or significant delay in the receipt of benefits of FHWA programs, policies, or activities (FHWA Order 6640.23A).
