Department of Transportation Updated
Environmental Justice Order 5610.2(a)
Office of the Secretary of
Transportation, DOT.
ACTION: Final DOT Environmental
Justice Order.
AGENCY:
The Department of
Transportation (the Department or DOT)
is issuing an update to Departmental
Order 5610.2(a) (Actions to Address
Environmental Justice in Minority
Populations and Low-Income
Populations). This Order updates the
Department’s original Environmental
Justice Order, which was published
April 15, 1997. The Order continues to
be a key component of the Department’s
strategy to promote the principles of
environmental justice in all
Departmental programs, policies, and
activities.
DOT Order 5610.2(a) sets forth the
DOT policy to consider environmental
justice principles in all (DOT) programs,
policies, and activities. It describes how
the objectives of environmental justice
will be integrated into planning and
programming, rulemaking, and policy
formulation. The Order sets forth steps
to prevent disproportionately high and
adverse effects to minority or lowincome populations through Title VI
analyses and environmental justice
analyses conducted as part of Federal
transportation planning and NEPA
provisions. It also describes the specific
measures to be taken to address
instances of disproportionately high and
adverse effects and sets forth relevant
definitions.
This updated Order reaffirms DOT’s
commitment to environmental justice
and clarifies certain aspects of the
original Order, including the definitions

of ‘‘minority’’ populations in
compliance with the Office of
Management and Budget’s (OMB)
Revisions to the Standards for the
Classification of Federal Data on Race
and Ethnicity of October 30, 1997. The
revisions clarify the distinction between
a Title VI analysis and an environmental
justice analysis conducted as part of a
NEPA review, and affirm the
importance of considering
environmental justice principles as part
of early planning activities in order to
avoid disproportionately high and
adverse effects. The updated Order
maintains the original Orders general
framework and procedures and DOT’s
commitment to promoting the
principles of environmental justice in
all DOT programs, policies, and
activities.
This Order is effective upon its date
of issuance.
