Description
As part of the State of California’s Regional Early Action Planning
(REAP) program, R+A provided technical assistance to staff at the San Bernardino
County Transportation Authority (SBCTA) with the creation of a regional Senate
Bill 1000 (C. Leyva, 2016) toolkit on environmental justice. This toolkit project has
included providing SB 1000 trainings for Planning staff, designing SB 1000 fact
sheets for city/county staff and the general public, developing EJ Element model
language and best practices, and working across jurisdictions within the County to
create tailored SB 1000 analysis. R+A staff have also facilitated a stakeholder input
process to better coordinate social equity and public health data efforts between
SBCTA and the County’s Department of Public Health.
