Metropolitan Transportation Plan/ Sustainable Communities Strategy MTP—Regional transportation plan developed every four years. SCS—New SB 375 requirement to better integrate land use with transportation planning. Environmental Justice (EJ) analysis required by federal and state law concerning benefits and impacts of MTP/SCS on low-income and minority populations.

CRC Topic Areas and EJ Analysis for the MTP/SCS Demographics Social Vulnerability Indicators Opportunity Indicators

Demographics Demographic IndicatorsSACOG Use RaceEJ Area definition — minority community AgeEJ Area vulnerability definition — 75+ Education (% of 25+ without HS diploma) EJ Area vulnerability definition ImmigrantsEJ Area vulnerability definition — linguistic isolation

Social Vulnerability Social Vulnerability IndicatorsSACOG Use Inadequate economic opportunities (% of hhs ≤ 200% of poverty level) EJ Area definition — low-income community Poor business opportunities (shrinking/dying businesses) More research Inadequate housing opportunities (% of hhs paying > 50% of income for housing) EJ Area vulnerability definition

Social Vulnerability Vulnerability IndicatorsSACOG Use Social vulnerabilities (linguistic isolation) EJ Area vulnerability definition Social vulnerabilities (single parent households) EJ Area vulnerability definition Insufficient transportation options (improved to look at accessibility) Moved to EJ Performance Measure Poor neighborhood quality (% of housing units vacant) Working on vacancy monitoring

Opportunity Opportunity IndicatorsSACOG Use Good and balanced economic opportunities EJ Area access to jobs; more research on high-wage job growth, middle income households Good neighborhood business climate Population in TPAs, growth in jobs by type; more research on small business growth Affordable and decent housing Growth in Community Types, housing product mix; margin of error issues with homeownership rate below county/MSA level
