ODOT’s Equity Lens
● How have (or will) historically-excluded communities been informed,
consulted, or involved?
● What methods or tools were used for this engagement? Be specific.
● In what ways does this address the needs expressed by historically
excluded communities? What are the benefits and burdens to those
communities?
● How much of the program fund went toward high Transportation
Disadvantaged Population Index (TDI) areas? Is there an opportunity
through this program to address other disparities this community
experiences (e.g. economic, health)?
● 43 Is there an opportunity through this program to increase safety and/or
access for those historically excluded that does not directly address
the purpose of the program? If so, what is the cost or risk to ODOT?
How might we mitigate the cost and/or risk?What we heard from the SRAC about equity in 2022
