Public Notice: Request for Public Comment – USDOT Equity Action Plan

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) invites public comment to inform our annual update to the DOT Equity Action Plan which aims to expand access and economic opportunity to all communities. DOT specifically seeks input regarding how our work to advance equity has impacted organizations and communities, as well as input on performance metrics, data sets, tools, and research to measure and advance transportation equity.

Input can be provided by responding to the Request for Information (RFI) that is open through June 30, 2023. The responses to this RFI will help the Department understand the impact of our equity activities to date and inform what efforts we prioritize as we update DOT’s Equity Action Plan.

Public Notice: Request for Qualifications – Comprehensive Regional Safety Action Plan

Request for Qualifications

South Central Planning and Development Commission (SCPDC) is inviting qualified firms to submit their qualifications for the development of a Comprehensive Regional Safety Action Plan. The objective of this plan is to enhance safety on the region’s roadways, reduce fatalities and serious injuries, and achieve the vision of Destination Zero Deaths by 2030. The plan development process will emphasize transparency, public and stakeholder engagement, and equitable strategies to engage underserved communities.

Deliverables comprise memos on feedback and data assessment, summaries of recommended datasets, technical memos on data analysis, tools for crash distribution recreation, toolboxes for countermeasures and emphasis areas, implementation plan and programs, visualization, and the final safety action plan.

Evaluation and scoring criteria will be used to assess the qualifications. Proposals must be submitted to the South Central Planning and Development Commission by the close of business July 27, 2023. For more information, contact Lea Ann Rucker, Planner I, at leaannr@scpdc.org. We look forward to your participation in achieving our mission of Destination Zero Deaths on our region’s roadways.
