Opportunities for Research on Transportation and Equity
On September 25, 2020, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) hosted a brainstorming session, “Critical Issues for Transportation and Equity.” Invited participants were provided four general categories for discussion that included initial ideas and topics provided by TRB staff and others. Both the initial information and the brainstorming session discussion notes are the primary basis for the research concepts included in this summary report. The issues and challenges from the discussion are translated here into Problem Statements as the basis for prioritization and additional action. The research categories are: (A) Access to Employment, Health Care, Education, and Other Opportunities; (B) Displacement, Gentrification, Affordable Housing, and Land Use; (C) Environmental Justice and Inequitable Impacts; and (D) Institutional Issues and Decision-Making. Within these categories are 21 Problem Statements to be considered as candidates for future research that may be undertaken by transportation stakeholders across all modes and sectors.
