Caltrans Transportation Equity Index (EQI)
The Transportation Equity Index (EQI) is a spatial screening tool designed to identify transportation-based priority populations at the census block level. The EQI integrates transportation and socioeconomic indicators into three screens. All screens reflect low-income status and tribal land status.
The EQI screens include:
- Transportation-Based Priority Populations: Communities that are most burdened by the transportation system and receive the fewest benefits.
- Traffic Exposure: Communities that are the most burdened through high exposure to traffic and crashes.
- Access to Destinations: Communities that have the greatest gaps in multimodal access to destinations.
