CLASP Comments on DOT Docket No: DOT-OST-2023-0087-0002, Request for Information: Equity Action Plan Update, June 2023
CLASP submitted comments to the Department of Transportation regarding the Equity Action Plan Update, with the goal of promoting equity through transportation funding that would greatly benefit from the inclusion of workforce-specific equity goals and performance indicators. The good jobs funded through federal dollars should be accessible to all workers. Concerted action is necessary to ensure that women; Black, Latino, Indigenous, Native, Asian persons, Pacific Islanders, and other persons of color; immigrants; people with disabilities; and justice-involved individuals can equitably access these jobs.
