The Title VI/Environmental Justice analysis of the CLRP will be enhanced to include Equity Emphasis Areas and additional travel demand measures. These enhancements will be implemented in two phases. The first phase identified Equity Emphasis Areas which are small geographic areas that have significant concentrations of low-income and / or minority populations. The following materials were approved by the TPB at its March 29, 2017 meeting.
Phase 2 will include examining accessibility to jobs, educational institutions, hospitals and travel times for the Equity Emphasis Areas compared to the rest of the region between the current year and 2040. These areas will also be used in other TPB planning activities, such as the identification of unfunded capital needs under discussion in the Long-Range Planning Task Force.
