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.

1995; 44 U.S.C. chapter 35, as amended; 23

subchapter E, part 450.)
