2375 - Evaluating Bicycle and Pedestrian Infrastructure in Environmental Justice Communities

ConclusionsThe developed indices provide an analytical framework to assess the safety and physical activity environment of transportation infrastructure. These indices allow transportation agencies to evaluate two or more corridors, regions and networks and may help inform the investment decision making process, strategic planning, policy or programming analysis and resource planning. While EJ populations may have access to slightly better facilities than non-EJ populations in Arlington, Texas, none of the facilities should be deemed adequate for bicyclists and pedestrians.
