Overview
•
Racial Equity Goals
• Improve efficiency, reliability and
reduce costs of getting around for
disadvantaged populations.
• Improve health, safety, and close the
gap on racial disparities in
transportation access.

• The Project Area has:
> More communities of Concern
> More people of color with Disabilities
> More seniors (over 65)
> More low-income families
> More bike lanes
> non-white households have higher rates of driving or carpooling to work
> BART ridership for West Oakland is whiter thatn the project area > ?Transit Routes
>Lower access to vehicles
>Worse Asthma rates
> More exposure to transportation-related emissions

Next Steps
• Analyzing disparities in comparison to plan
• Why do disparities exist?
• Engagement to help inform, but likely factors include:
personal safety/security, lack of “complete
communities,” lack of connections to blue collar jobs
• What are we doing about it?
• Adaptation: 7
th St streetscape improvements, bringing in
planners working on other major developments in the
area that can help “complete” communities’ needs, RPP
to preserve ability to park with a low-income discount
Evaluation and Accountability
Limitations
We do not include:
- MOEs
- Racial groups below 2% of pop
- Sample sizes
- time is missing in the analysis - we do not offer information about past trends.
Future is only mentioned in 1 slide on 3YPlan for paving - Does not address questions of what we will do about it - Not enough time to look at literature on transportation equity - Deeper questions - do the routes availble go to job dense areas? - stopped looking at vehcle available by race in 2000
- Did not do managed Parking
- Income by race - [tables:B19113B (black), B19113H (White), B19113D (Asian), B19101l (hispanic)
This work will Inform…
• Outreach and what we will ask the engagement consultants to do
• Moving Truck Routes
• Community Benefits Agreement Process
