Transportation Resilience & Sustainability Mission

The Division of Transportation Resilience and Sustainability’s mission is to promote safer and more sustainable infrastructure by mitigating risks from climate change, advancing alternative energy, and reducing carbon emissions.  We are committed to strengthening Delaware’s transportation network with data-driven, innovative, and equitable solutions that benefit the environment and the traveling public.


Purpose

We began the Equity Analysis with the goal of identifying Equity Focus Areas in Delaware in order to:

  • Make informed investment decisions
  • Provide data for public outreach and engagement strategies
  • Create a standardized tool for DelDOT (and potentially other state agencies) to identify disadvantaged communities
