DOT announced that plans to include 39 programs spread across 5 of its operating administrations in the Biden-Harris Administration’s Justice40 Initiative. This list will likely expand over time. These programs must direct 40% of the benefits of these investments to “disadvantaged communities” as identified by CEQ’s Climate & Environmental Justice Screening Tool (CEJST)
