Download or read book Community Impact Assessment written by and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This guide was written as a quick primer for transportation professionals and analysts who assess the impacts of proposed transportation actions on communities. It outlines the community impact assessment process, highlights critical areas that must be examined, identifies basic tools and information sources, and stimulates the thought-process related to individual projects. In the past, the consequences of transportation investments on communities have often been ignored or introduced near the end of a planning process, reducing them to reactive considerations at best. The goals of this primer are to increase awareness of the effects of transportation actions on the human environment and emphasize that community impacts deserve serious attention in project planning and development-attention comparable to that given the natural environment. Finally, this guide is intended to provide some tips for facilitating public involvement in the decision making process.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this project has been to develop a series of practical indicators of economic, social, and environmental impacts related to transportation system changes. Comparing the spatial incidence of these impacts with the locations of low-income populations and minority populations, it is possible to assess whether the impacts would adversely and disproportionately affect these populations. Our intent is to help make it possible for everyone who is likely to be affected by a particular transportation system change to understand the expected types and magnitudes of anticipated impacts. The objective of such an understanding is to enable those who would be affected to determine which impacts would be most important to them.

Download or read book Environmental Justice Research Study written by Debora Van Orden and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 194 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Implementation: To provide consistency in the application of an environmental justice analysis for statewide and regional transportation planning purposes, it is recommended that the definitions and identification methodologies for low-income and minority populations be incorporated into the statewide planning process. Suggested changes to four of CDOT's planning documents are provided: CDOT Metropolitan Planning Organization Guidance Manual, Colorado Department of Transportation Guidelines for Public Involvement in Statewide Transportation Planning and Programming, CDOT Regional Transportation Planning Guidebook, and Rules and Regulations for the Statewide Transportation Planning Process and Transportation Planning Regions.
Download or read book Environmental Justice Transportation written by Shannon Cairns and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 30 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Environmental justice is an increasingly important element of policymaking in transportation and is fundamentally about fairness toward the disadvantaged, often addressing the exclusion of racial and ethnic minorities from decisionmaking. This handbook is intended to help those who are new to transportation decision processes influence how environmental justice is incorporated into decisions about transportation policy and projects. Various approaches to environmental justice are discussed, along with steps in the planning process when citizen involvement is particularly effective, suggestions for how environmental justice can be included in a project, and legal requirements for environmental justice implementation.
