Integrating Equity and Sustainability into Transportation Systems
Integrating Equity and Sustainability into Transportation Systems
Advancing Equitable Electric Mobility
The historically redlined communities have long borne the burden of transportation policies that put them at higher risk of health disparities. Now, the new government investments must also fund solutions at the intersections of mobility equity, transportation electrification and community building.
The TEEM Platform offers principles and implementation recommendations for federal and state Departments of Transportation, transit agencies, auto industry partners and other key decision-makers to integrate equity and sustainability into transportation systems.
For more information, reach out to Alexa Diaz and Isa Gaillard.
Our Recommendations
Equity and Justice: To meet Justice40 requirements, agencies must invest in outreach, public education, community engagement and shared decision-making.
Emissions Reductions: We need to increase access to practical alternatives to driving and electrify all modes of transportation to reduce emissions by 52% by 2030.
Affordable Access for All: Our nation’s transportation investments must provide reliable alternatives to driving and improve the affordability of sustainable mobility options.
Health and Safety: Transportation investments need to substantively and rapidly decrease harm from car crashes and air pollution. Investments in the supply chain must also direct benefits to impacted communities and avoid causing or exacerbating harm.
Wealth Building: Government contracts, investments and jobs should be allocated through a transparent, accountable and equitable process that mitigates racial, urban-rural divide and economic inequities.
