Abstract:The analysis revealed that equity should be incorporated early and at multiple points throughout the program development and implementation phases. From the literature review, best practices identified for developing a program equity framework included defining program equity in a locally relevant way, embedding equity into the project selection process and program evaluation criteria, and developing an informative and implementable accountability plan. From the spatial analysis, additional areas to consider for community engagement and VMT mitigation measure selection were identified in northern Sunnyvale, Morgan Hill, and near Gilroy. Community engagement observations revealed that the VTA project team’s approach to public meetings, focus groups, and surveys was excellent, but public engagement and program informational materials could be simplified for non-technical audiences and the VTA project team could better leverage social media to foster dialogue with the community.
