PRIORITIES

The Equitable Transportation Fund prioritizes three categories for actionable and inclusive change.

​

PRIORITY ONE
Transform Policies

Transform State Department of Transportation (DOT) policies and planning. 

ACTIONS:

​

  • Design transportation developments around community-identified needs. 

  • Make streets safer and more complete with dedicated lanes and mobility hub space for all users.  

  • Help areas with low population density incentivize shared mobility services to locate there and offer more community mobility and delivery options.  

  • Incentivize and make space for emission-free last mile deliveries​

Priority 1

  • ​Build capacity in transportation agencies and operators to collect, manage, and share mobility information. 

  • Develop local data standards that protect people from the discrimination and privacy invasion caused by the kinds of technology used in mobility hubs. 

  • Develop applications that make mobility options within a given area seamless and convenient to access.  

  • Build digital integration between services and operators, to increase ease of use. 

  • Identify ways to make mobility information more accessible, especially to priority communities and to people who don’t have access to mobile devices, the internet, and / or banking services. 

PRIORITY TWO
Accelerate Implementation

Accelerate implementation of transit, electrification, and active transportation

ACTIONS:

​

  • Build capacity within government agencies to be able to consider removal or cancelation as options over more road maintenance and growth – especially in city centers.  

  • Build capacity within communities to be able to ask and fight for less pavement during the review of public infrastructure proposals funded by local or state capital budgets. 

  • Build acceptance in the culture that just because traffic has flowed in one way for decades does not mean it cannot be changed now if that makes more sense for long-term community health and growth.  

PRIORITY THREE
Build & Sustain

Support the capcity building of National and Regional Coalitions to advance federal transportation policies at the intersection of health, climate, and communities. 

ACTIONS:

​

  • Ensure safe working conditions, fair compensation, and opportunities for professional growth for the people who operate shared mobility systems. 

  • Encourage the formation of mobility advisory councils that iterate around goals, frameworks, and roadmaps that build mobility options at the local, regional, state, and national levels. 

  • Encourage mobility plans tied to shared climate justice and action goals and include community social costs / benefits in these plans.
