Implementation for Including Equity in Benefit-Cost Analysis

This project is a technology transfer effort focused on implementation assistance for methodologies and concepts developed in RP 2022-17: Including Equity in Benefit-Cost Analysis. This work is needed to advance North Carolina Department of Transportation's (NCDOT’s) commitment to equity and to support decision making that leads to more equitable outcomes. Activities will include, but are not necessarily limited to: (1) preparing a State of the Practice review that builds on work from RP 2022-17 to include recent examples of project prioritization processes that include equity, (2) reaching a unified understanding with the Workgroup on what is meant by equity, and (3) providing a detailed accounting of how to use the methodology, workbook, and Geographic Information System (GIS) tool to evaluate complete street benefits within the prioritization process. It is anticipated that some of the results of these implementation activities will be considered for implementation for the P8.0 cycle. Throughout this implementation effort, the research team will work closely with both the SPOT team and Workgroup to help address emerging needs as they arise through the end of this project.
