There are two sets of case studies which provide examples of effective practices which promote EJ. While these case studies were developed some time ago, the themes of public involvement and data collection are still relevant to EJ in practice.
The first set, Transportation and EJ case studies, features stories and identifies commonplace techniques that have been used to promote EJ in transportation planning. The 10 highlighted case studies are drawn from various aspects of transportation decision-making and detail both analytical and procedural issues relevant to diverse communities.
The second set, EJ and NEPA case studies, were developed with a focus on EJ analysis during the environmental review process. These nine case studies provide examples of best practices in conducting EJ analysis and focus on diverse geographic locations and situations.
