SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Survey of Metropolitan
Planning Organizations and State
Departments of Transportation
Regarding Practices for Incorporating
Equity and Meaningful Public
Involvement in Transportation Planning
and Project Decision-Making.
Background: The U.S. Department of
Transportation (DOT, or ‘‘the
Department’’) is committed to pursuing
a comprehensive approach to advancing
equity for all. In response to Executive
Order 13985: Advancing Racial Equity
and Support for Underserved
Communities through the Federal
Government (86 FR 7009), DOT is
working to expand access and
opportunity to all communities while
focusing on underserved, overburdened,
and disadvantaged communities.
One focus area for DOT relates to the
Department’s programmatic
enforcement of Title VI of the Civil
Rights Act (DOT Order 1000.12C),
including emphasizing agency review of
the potential discriminatory impacts of
plans, investment programs, and
projects to prevent disparate impacts on
protected classes, and empower
communities, including limited English
proficient communities, in
transportation decision-making (49 CFR
21.5, 21.7, 21.9 and 28 CFR 406).
FHWA plans to conduct a survey of
all State departments of transportation
(State DOTs) and metropolitan planning
organizations (MPOs) to better
understand how these agencies consider
equity and comply with Title VI in
transportation planning and
programming activities. This will
include questions about how each State
DOT or MPO is using quantitative data
or tools to analyze equity factors for
transportation plans and investment
programs, as well as how each agency
provides a meaningful and
representative role to members of all
communities, including underserved
and limited English proficient
communities, in shaping these plans
and programs (28 CFR 407).

Information from the survey will be
used to inform future research products
and capacity-building activities for State
DOTs and MPOs, to help them improve
practices related to equity and
meaningful public involvement in
transportation planning and
programming. Survey responses may
also inform future revisions to existing
guidance, or the development of new
guidance, to DOT funding recipients on
meeting the requirements of Title VI of
the Civil Rights Act, the National
Environmental Policy Act,
transportation planning and
programming, or other legal or
regulatory requirements that relate to
transportation equity and public
involvement.
FHWA plans to conduct the survey on
a voluntary-response basis, utilizing an
electronic survey platform. This is
planned as a one-time information
collection, and FHWA estimates that the
survey will take approximately one hour
to complete. The survey will consist of
both multiple-choice and short-answer
question formats.
Respondents: 52 State DOTs and
approximately 405 MPOs.
Frequency: Once.
Estimated Average Burden per
Response: Approximately 60 minutes
per respondent.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: Approximately 457 hours.
Public Comments Invited: You are
asked to comment on any aspect of this
information collection, including: (1)
Whether the proposed collection is
necessary for the FHWA’s performance;
(2) the accuracy of the estimated
burdens; (3) ways for the FHWA to
enhance the quality, usefulness, and
clarity of the collected information; and
(4) ways that the burden could be
minimized, including the use of
electronic technology, without reducing
the quality of the collected information.
The agency will summarize and/or
include your comments in the request
for OMB’s clearance of this information
collection.
