Abstract: This webinar examines how transportation planning decisions affect social equity and public health, ways to evaluate these impacts, and better align transportation policies with community goals. Equity and health policy analysis can be challenging because there are several impacts to consider, and various ways to measure them. Horizontal equity assumes that people with similar needs and abilities should be treated equally; vertical equity assumes that disadvantaged groups should receive a greater share of resources. Social justice addresses structural inequities such as racism and sexism. This webinar will explore various perspectives and impacts, and practical ways to incorporate equity and public health goals into policy and planning analysis.
