There has been a recently large increase in competitive federal grant programs for transportation, and the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) has considerable control over how the programs are structured and the funds awarded to states and other applicants. With this, USDOT has asked TRB and the National Academies to review the ways USDOT can emphasize and promote equity within the competitive grants process.

TRB Special Report 348: Elevating Equity in Transportation Decision Making: Recommendations for Federal Competitive Grant Programs from the Transportation Research Board of the National Academy of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is the product of an expert committee convened to fulfill this study charge.

The findings note that equity needs to be pursued across all facets of USDOT's competitive grant programs, from goal setting and project evaluations to ensuring that all eligible participants have the capacity to apply for grants and to implement them successfully.
