Abstract:
The proposed survey will establish a baseline for key performance indicators in the U.S. DOT Equity Action Plan and in support of U.S. DOT’s implementation of Executive Order 13985: Advancing Racial Equity and Support for Underserved Communities Through the Federal Government. This executive order establishes a government-wide policy to “pursue a comprehensive approach to advancing equity for all, including people of color who have been historically underserved, marginalized, and adversely affected by persistent poverty and inequality,” and provides an expanded definition of “equity” goes beyond definitions in past executive orders. The Executive Order stresses the importance of engagement with members of underserved communities in service of equity goals.

Short Statement:
This is a renewal information collection. It builds upon a similar survey conducted in 2022 (OMB Control Number 2125-0665). The results were published in a summary of the 2022 survey (https://www.transportation.gov/sites/dot.gov/files/2023-11/Summary%20of%202022%20Equity%20in%20the%20Transportation%20Planning%20Process_FINAL.pdf). FHWA has made modifications to the proposed survey based on the results of the 2022 survey, and to address feedback from State DOTs and MPOs. The proposed new survey for 2024-2026 covers the same general topics but includes improved question wording and new questions.
