“… Fields et al (2020) found that while interactions between social workers and transportation experts (i.e., engineers and planners) are limited, there is a willingness and potential for greater interprofessional collaboration between the two fields. A primary advantage of this interprofessional collaboration is that social workers possess an in-depth understanding of the barriers their patients face in accessing health care.…”

“…A primary advantage of this interprofessional collaboration is that social workers possess an in-depth understanding of the barriers their patients face in accessing health care. Specifically, “this collaboration provides an opportunity to adequately serve [vulnerable] populations by re-evaluating long-held practices related to data collection and data analysis within the transportation decision-making process, particularly with regard to the understanding of transportation gaps and needs of vulnerable populations,” ( Fields et al 2020 pg. 5).…”

The world's awareness of the importance of protecting the earth's environment is proof that nature is seen as an inseparable part of humankind. For this reason, the application of green schools is increasingly being carried out as evidence of the achievement of Education for Sustainable Development (ESD). This research is related to the success of Al-Fajar Bekasi Islamic High School in implementing environmental justice in supporting green schools. This research method uses a qualitative phenomenological approach. The research findings show that the environmental justice approach plays a full role in supporting the creation of green schools for the long term. Student behavior that is in accordance with environmental justice, namely equality between humans will support that nature is an important component. Thus, the urgency of a pro-environmental attitude combined with adaptation to environmental justice for sustainable development must be instilled from an early age in public and private schools, so that later the younger generation will become the group that determines the success of environmental development in Indonesia with optimal and credible knowledge, attitudes and skills.

“…Legal or regulatory catalysts for EJ and broad public participation in the project delivery process are shown to be important factors in uencing the integration of EJ within an implementing agency's assessment and governance strategy (Sen, 2008;Strelau & Köckler, 2016). Additionally, studies suggest interdisciplinary collaborative approaches have bene ts for transportation practitioners (Fields et al, 2020) and students (Miller et al, 2019), raising the importance of interprofessional governance approaches as a possibility of effectively meeting the needs of EJ communities in transportation project delivery.…”

Over the past two decades, environmental justice (EJ) has been seen as an important concept for ensuring transportation infrastructure planning does not perpetuate a legacy of disproportionately impacting low income and/or minority communities in the United States. However, state-centered EJ research often focuses on quantitative methods for carrying out EJ analysis, focusing less on qualitative assessments of agency practitioners responsible for performing EJ work. We present a qualitative case study grounded in semi-structured interviews with nineteen EJ and community impact assessment practitioners at state departments of transportation (DOTs) across the United States. Four major themes arose surrounding practitioner role specialization, agency context, tool and data availability, and assessment of disproportionate impacts. Challenges and opportunities identified in the study provide practitioners and state DOTs with operational lenses to evaluate how to further justice and equity in the transportation project delivery process.
