• Abstract:
  The research for this study began with a literature review of the existing rules and regulations at federal and state levels pertaining to environmental justice (EJ). This literature search was followed by phone interviews with several transportation organizations and agencies around the country and within CDOT. The surveys were conducted to assess the processes currently in place related to EJ in the context of transportation planning. The next step in the research was to evaluate the best way to define, identify, and locate minority populations and low-income populations within the State at the planning level. Having identified where the low-income households and minority populations reside in the State, a successful public involvement program needs to occur to seek out these targeted population groups in order to provide opportunities for involvement in the transportation planning decision-making process.
