Gearing Up for Action: A Curriculum Guide for Freight Transport Justice

The goal of our Freight Transport Justice Project is to reduce the adverse health impacts of freight transportation on low-income neighborhoods of color closest to freight transport hubs, and to increase the share of the benefits that residents of these communities enjoy. Between 2007 and 2009, the Pacific Institute and its partner organizations developed and piloted the activities in this guide to engage community residents most affected by ports, rail lines, truck routes, and other freight transport infrastructure in local, regional, and state-level decision-making.
