This map illustrates the Transportation Equity Area composite score (equity score) calculated for each block group within Broward County based on selected demographic indicators. The map is one of several resources used by the Broward MPO to help form a consistent evaluation process concerning Title VI and EJ among its various plans and programs.

The Broward MPO has developed a process to more consistently and comprehensively evaluate its plans and programs in conjunction with federal Environmental Justice (EJ) and Title VI regulations. This effort is driven by the following goals:

• To consistently evaluate transportation plans and programs against Title VI and EJ objectives.
• Improve efficiency in the planning processes and programs.
• More effectively satisfy federal Title VI and EJ requirements.
• Produce meaningful outcomes for the community through MPO transportation planning programs, particularly for Title VI and EJ populations.
• Identify adverse impacts early at the project level rather than later at the programming level
