Promotion of Social Equity and Livable Communities
"The transportation system should be socially equitable and strengthen civil
rights; enabling all people to gain access to good jobs, education and training,
and needed services. Where possible, personal transportation expenses should be
minimized in ways that support wealth creation. Integrated with land use
planning, transportation should also enhance the quality, livability and
character of communities and support revitalization without displacement. The
transportation system should allow every American to participate fully in
society whether or not they own a car and regardless of age, ability, ethnicity,
or income." - From the Alliance for a New Transportation Charter
