Actualizing Equity: Integrating Anti-Displacement into Transit Evaluation

From housing to transportation, many community development projects led by government agencies include community engagement to ostensibly integrate the insights of those most impacted. But, too often, these “public” processes are highly technical and challenging for community members to understand, let alone respond to in ways that have real and meaningful impact on the project. This month, with the release of a pivotal Environmental Impact Statement for the Blue Line Extension project, organizers are gearing up for a concerted campaign that creates new pathways for community members to have their voices heard and codifies anti-displacement as a core transit expense and impact.

Join members of the Blue Line Coalition at our next Actualizing Equity event to learn more about innovative steps they’re taking to make public processes more equitable and change the way the impacts of transit projects are calculated.
