there to the project area. Transportation choices to consider include rail, bus, biking, walking, bike and scooter share, carshare, rideshare, and personal car, which are supported by the design of roads, curbsides, sidewalks, bus stops, transit stations, and docking stations – all of which should be equitably distributed.
Equity Goal
Goal Measurement
M-1
Identify unique travel conditions in equity communities to inform what transportation choices allow them access to/from/through the project area.
Quantify households with no or limited access to a personal car. Assess which transit routes, stops, and stations serve equity communities.
•
•
• Quantify the types of transportation modes and access points available within a half mile of equity communities • Assess walkshed from equity communities to transit in travel time and distance. • Assess basic infrastructure disparities (e.g. sidewalks, crosswalks, roads, and similar) between equity communities and project site.
M-2 Identify disparities in vehicle-pedestrian and vehicle-bicyclist incidents to prioritize safety solutions in equity communities.
Quantify the amount of incidents in equity communities compared to the general community to identify disparity. Frequency of incidents in equity communities compared to the general community to identify disparity. Assess common locations of incidents and the infrastructure causes or correlations. Quantify parking spaces lost immediate to small businesses. Quantify loading areas reduced or lost (feet) immediate to small businesses. Assess transportation connections between the project site and other activity hubs where community assets are located. Assess sidewalks, curbsides, and road conditions (e.g., tree roots, potholes, obstructions, and similar). Assess the crosswalk and intersection experience (e.g., auditory and visual indicators, cross time interval, regulated turn lanes, and similar). Assess the ADA user experience of proposed non-traditional features (e.g. diagonal crossing, road diet, pedestrian islands, and similar). Identify current and new parking areas that accommodate destination users of the project area.
