The Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) developed this guidance, The Environmental Justice Primer for Ports: The Good Neighbor Guide to Building Partnerships and Social Equity with Communities (The Environmental Justice Primer for Ports). The Environmental Justice Primer for Ports is intended to help port decision-makers better understand the needs of near-port communities and how they can help address these needs and build productive community relationships during planning activities and operations.
