Abstract:This report narrates the findings of a study addressing transportation equity education in the Southeast. It outlines the development and implementation of a transportation equity program for planning and engineering schools. In light of our findings, we determined three key subject areas that need to be thoroughly considered in curriculum development for graduate schools, specifically in engineering fields: impact analysis, multi-criteria decision-making modeling, and social divide in new technologies. The goal of this project is to examine the current status of transportation equity education and propose curriculum changes for graduate transportation engineering and planning programs using the following areas: 1) types of equity; 2) potential impacts; 3) tools to measure commitment to equity throughout the processes; 4) strategies to combat inequities; 5) understanding of social context; 6) value of partnership building; and 7) accessibility- vs. mobility-based approaches. This project will build on previous research and current national, state, and regional activities, as well as our conversations with stakeholders.
