Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation 

Department of Transportation Final 

Environmental Justice Strategy 

AGENCY: Office of the Secretary of 

Transportation, DOT. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: The Department of 

Transportation is issuing a revised 

environmental justice strategy, which 

sets forth DOT’s commitment to 

identifying and addressing 

disproportionately high and adverse 

human health and environmental effects 

of agency policies and activities on 

minority and low-income populations. 

This strategy is published as a final 

document; however, it is a revision of a 

previous version published in 1995, and 

may be adjusted periodically in the 

future to reflect new insights acquired 

through implementation and changing 

social and technological conditions. 

The strategy has been revised in 

response to an interagency 

Memorandum of Understanding on 

Environmental Justice (EJ MOU), 

confirming the importance of addressing 

environmental justice considerations in 

agency programs, policies, and 

activities. The strategy identifies actions 

the Department intends to take to 

implement Executive Order 12898, 

‘‘Federal Actions to Address 

Environmental Justice in Minority 

Populations and Low-Income 

Populations’’, signed by President 

Clinton on February 11, 1994. This 

Executive Order directs agencies to 

identify and address disproportionately 

high and adverse impacts on minority 

and low-income populations with 

respect to human health and 

environment. The EJ MOU 

acknowledges the continued importance 

of EJ and participating Federal agencies 

pledged to review and update existing 

EJ strategies. This updated EJ strategy 

reflects DOT’s continued commitment 

to EJ principles and to integrating those 

principles into DOT programs, policies, 

and activities. 

The revised strategy is publicly 

available on the DOT Web site at: 

http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/

strategy/.
