Abstract

The practice of transportation justice requires a courageous and honest assessment of both the negative and positive impacts to low-income communities of color and people with disabilities from transportation projects and policies--past and present. This report seeks to use transportation justice to explore those impacts of East Oakland Bus Rapid Transit. The report is prepared with Just Cities, a restorative justice in planning and policy social enterprise based in Oakland, in partnership with the Fall 2019 UC Berkeley City Planning Graduate Transportation Studio. This report provides a preliminary analysis of currently available information and data regarding the past and current impacts of the EBBRT on the people, environment, businesses, and homes around International Boulevard (East 14th Street)--while providing critical insight behind the planning and development process. The EBBRT project is expected to launch in March 2020. While this analysis cannot provide critical feedback on the project in operation, we have endeavored to detail the complex historical, political and technical dynamics that went into this project and study the current data available regarding International Boulevard.
