Environmental justice considerations are required as part of the NEPA process during theproject development stage but also are found earlier in the state and regional transportation plans. The literature concerning environmental justice covers legislative and regulatory requirements, types of considerations, methods, and processes to determine outcome equity, and evaluation techniques (Forkenbrock and Sheeley, 2004; Cambridge Systematics, Inc., 2002a; Cambridge Systematics, Inc., 2002b)

The measurement of community impacts should be grounded in local and regional land use and transportation plans that establish a clear vision for a community. Although there are several potential ways to classify community impacts, the following four categories are used to differentiate among the key concepts in this part of the framework: • Land Use; • Archeological, Historical, and Cultural Resources; • Social; and • Environmental Justice.

Two broad objectives in the land use factor area are supported by the five framework measures in Table 7.1: • Land preservation; and • Integration of land use and transportation planning efforts. The case study highlight illustrates how the Puget Sound Regional Council measures the consistency of induced landconsumption with the relevant land use plans in their Vision 2040 plan.

districts and emergency vehicle dispatch locations, current EMS response times, and travel demand models or GIS-based toolsto assess impacts of changes in the transportation network on travel times. Methods for measurement of visual quality impacts are not well developed, though approaches may include identification of current visual characteristics of note (e.g., ground cover, land contours, locations of major landmarks)
