Environmental Justice at Department of Transportation

Opportunities for Engagement

The U.S. Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the kick-off of our Environmental Justice outreach tour. As DOT takes a fresh look at our EJ policies in order to strengthen the EJ process, we'll be looking for feedback and ideas from transportation and community stakeholders. From now until the end of the year, we invite you to provide your insights, experiences, and ideas for enhancing environmental justice in transportation related activities. Here is a review of some upcoming opportunities to participate in the conversation:

• Environmental Justice Public Roundtable Meeting (November 21, 2011)
• Review the revised USDOT Environmental Justice Strategy at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/environmental_justice/ej_at_dot/revised_strategy/ and submit comments to EJ@dot.gov.
