TRANSPORTATION EQUITY FUNDAMENTALS CERTIFICATION
Part I: February 8 & 9, 2023
Part II: March 8 & 9, 2023
Access to safe, reliable and affordable transportation is a right for all individuals – yet it is particularly difficult to provide in many areas, particularly rural locations. This can mean the difference between access to medical care, job opportunities and food sources or the lack thereof and those with easy access often take it for granted and don’t realize how many people live without it. One important step to changing that disparity is by educating planners and engineers on this topic, which is why we are offering a two-part training series offered in a four-hour block held over four days that leads to obtaining a Transportation Equity Fundamentals Certification. Each training is an 8-hour-live online course for a total of 16 Professional Development Hours (PDH) and will cover the following topics:
TRANSPORTATION EQUITY FUNDAMENTAL I
February 8 & 9, 2023
- Types of equity and their implications: health, gender, race, etc.
- Incorporate health and social equity into transportation planning and engineering design
- Strategies to mitigate potential adverse impacts of transportation projects on equity
- How to develop an effective and inclusive community outreach program
TRANSPORTATION EQUITY FUNDAMENTAL II
March 8 & 9, 2023
