Following the issuing of the Executive Order to address environmental justice in 1994, it became clear that the U.S. Department of Transportation would hold metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) accountable for how well their transportation plans and programs avoided adverse effects on human health and the environment for minority and low-income populations. MPOs that could not meet this standard would lose federal funds. How should public agencies avoid disproportionate impacts on these populations when siting infrastructure improvements? How should planning efforts incorporate input from disadvantaged populations? This article discusses how the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) in Columbus, Ohio, grappled with these questions, and were eventually commended for their efforts.
