3 CAPITAL AREA METROPOLITAN PLANNING ORGANIZATION Have at least 25 percent of the population ening an income below the national poverty thresholds for a family of three ($17,373 in,.s. Census Bureau. Minority TAZs have less than 50 percent of the population identifying themselves as White, non-hispanic (see Table 23. CAMPO used the following data from the.s. Census Bureau to identify EJ TAZs: median family income levels; poverty data; and, ethnicity data. CAMPO 40 Plan EJ Analysis CAMPO analyzed the 40 transportation system to determine whether the system as envisioned would cause disproportionate negative impacts for the EJ population. Some of the road improvements include a tolling component, which may disproportionately burden low-income individuals. The plan also includes several Centers in EJ eas, focusing growth and economic opportunity. Map and Map 36 show the EJ eas and the planned 40 transportation system. Travel Time Analysis Travel time is one measure of equity in transportation. The distance traveled in a specified The interconnected network of existing and planned toll roads and express lanes form a regional toll network. Project sponsors evaluate the effects of toll roads and express lanes on the EJ community for individual road projects in accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA. CAMPO also evaluates the regional toll network for the effect of the total interconnected network on the EJ community. CAMPO will conduct the 40 Plan Regional Toll Network Analysis (RTA after the Transportation Policy Bod adopts the 40 Plan. CAMPO s most recent RTA includes all planned and potential toll projects, except for the IH express lanes. Given that IH traverses both EJ and non-ej eas, adding IH to the RTA may not change results signifiamount of time should be roughly the same whether the trip originated in an EJ ea or not. If EJ eas have a significant time or distance disadvantage comped to non-ej eas, then there e likely transportation system inequities. CAMPO analyzed travel times using output from the travel demand model. CAMPO selected representative sample EJ and non-ej zone pairs in Bastrop, Burnet, Caldwell, Hays, Travis, and Williamson counties. CAMPO selected EJ zones with high populations and non-ej zones based on compable distance from major roads and simil population as the EJ zones. CAMPO calculated five-minute travel time intervals from five to 30 minutes for both the EJ and non-ej zones for each zone pair, resulting in the ea (in sque miles covered for each five-minute travel interval. CAMPO comped the ea covered by each of the time intervals for each zone pair to determine whether there were any significant differences between the two. Since most people tend to think of their trips in five minute intervals, the ea covered by a five-minute interval for the EJ zone of the zone pair is used to determine significant differences. If the ea covered by an EJ zone five-minute interval is one half or less of the ea covered by a non-ej zone five-minute interval, then the EJ zone is initially determined to have a significant travel time disadvantage. Results of the travel time analysis for,, and 40 did not identify any significant differences in travel times between EJ and non-ej zones. This finding indicates that implementation of the 40 transportation system would not cause the EJ population any disproportionate negative impacts in terms of travel time. See Appendix H for detailed results of the travel time analysis. Regional Toll Network Analysis 152 CAMPO 40 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN

Please see the CAMPO website for the most recent RTA. EJ Lane Mile Analysis One way CAMPO evaluates equity in regds to tolling, is to measure the number of tolled lane miles in EJ and non-ej eas. Tables 24-28, which show tolled and non-tolled lane miles for the and 40 road networks, do not indicate a disproportionately negative impact eas. Elderly and Aging Population Nine percent of the CAMPO region s population is age 65 or older. CAMPO includes the aging and elderly as a population for additional consideration because many elderly do not drive and rely on public or other transportation services for critical trips (see Map 37 and Table. Disabled Population Table 30 illustrates that 15 percent of the CAMPO region s population had a disability, according to the 00.S. Census (the Census did not provide disability data at the census tract level, so the 00 Census is the most reliable available data source. In order to address the needs of both the aging and disabled populations, the CAMPO 40 Plan: Supports accessibility enhancements to fixedroute transit throughout the region; Calls for continued operation and enhancement of demand-response, door-to-door public transportation offered by providers throughout the region, including CARTS and Capital Metro; and, 154 CAMPO 40 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION PLAN
