Abstract:This report was commissioned as part of the Washington Department of Transportation’s (WSDOT) Equity in Planning (EiP) project. It presents knowledge drawn from the transportation equity academic literature, practice-oriented literature, community engagement, geospatial (GIS) analysis, and a survey of planning professionals. The project aims to comply with Washington state’s Environmental Justice (EJ) legislation, SB 5141, known as the HEAL Act. The HEAL Act sets the goal that 40 percent of major state expenditures be directed toward overburdened communities and vulnerable populations. It mandates that EJ analyses be performed by seven state agencies, including WSDOT. This report identifies leading indicators of transportation equity that WSDOT can incorporate in its planning processes for long-range, regional, and corridor planning initiatives.
