The Transportation Equity Project of the Center for Community Change seeks to advance equity in transportation planning and policy. Transportation equity is the fair distribution of public resources across all communities, paying particular attention to the environmental and community development needs of low-income and minority communities. Today, transportation infrastructure too often neglects the economic and job access needs of low-income and minority people, while piling the brunt of environmental harms on these same families.
The Transportation Equity Project provides technical and organizational assistance to community organizing projects, and brings community organizations working for transportation equity together to help strengthen their hand in regional, state and national transportation policy debates.
