Abstract
The impacts of past transportation decisions on minority and low-income populations are observable across most any interstate constructed within an urban environment of our country. SCDOT does not have a standardized process for screening impacts to Environmental Justice (EJ) communities. The goal of this project is to identify a set of best management practices for screening and evaluating impacts to EJ communities. The project will also evaluate current web applications for developing demographic and community profiles that can be used to assess impacts to EJ communities and enhance community outreach. The overall project goal is to identify a process improvement that SCDOT’s environmental office can implement to 1) screen for and analyze EJ impacts and 2) enhance the Department’s public engagement strategies.
