Equity Considerations
• Increase transit and active transportation infrastructure in areas with a higher proportion of lower income households.
• Make mode-shifting more affordable for lower income households (e.g., active transportation and transit incentives)
• Consider all ages and abilities when planning and designing infrastructure and programs.
• Factor in climate hazards (e.g., heat, smoke from wildfires) and the elements (e.g., snow) for transit and active transportation infrastructure.Co-Benefits
