Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the Executive Order on Environmental Justice (#12898) do not provide specific guidance to evaluate EJ issues within a region's transportation planning process. Therefore, MPOs must devise their own methods for ensuring that EJ issues are investigated and evaluated in transportation decision-making. In 2001, DVRPC developed an EJ technical assessment to identify direct and disparate impacts of its plans, programs, and planning process on defined population groups in the Delaware Valley region. This assessment, called the Indicators of Potential Disadvantage Methodology, is utilized in a variety of DVRPC plans and programs. DVRPC currently assesses the following population groups, defined by the U.S. Census Bureau:<\/SPAN><\/P> Youth<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI> Older Adults<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI> Female<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI> Racial Minority<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI> Ethnic Minority<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI> Foreign-Born<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI> Disabled<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI> Limited English Proficiency<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI> Low-Income<\/SPAN><\/P><\/LI><\/UL> Census tables used to gather data from the 2018-2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates<\/SPAN><\/P> Using U.S. Census American Community Survey data, the population groups listed above are identified and located at the census tract level. Data is gathered at the regional level, combining populations from each of the nine counties, for either individuals or households, depending on the indicator. From there, the total number of persons in each demographic group is divided by the appropriate universe (either population or households) for the nine-county region, providing a regional average for that population group. Any census tract that meets or exceeds the regional average level, or threshold, is considered an EJ-sensitive tract for that group.<\/SPAN><\/P> Census tables used to gather data from the 2018-2022 American Community Survey 5-Year Estimates.<\/SPAN><\/P> For more information and for methodology, visit DVRPC's website:http://www.dvrpc.org/GetInvolved/TitleVI/<\/SPAN><\/P> For technical documentation visit DVRPC's GitHub IPD repo: https://github.com/dvrpc/ipd<\/SPAN><\/P> Source of tract boundaries: 2020 US Census Bureau, <\/SPAN>TIGER/Line Shapefiles<\/SPAN><\/A><\/P>
