Nine major national and regional transportation, environmental, and environmental justice organizations issued a statement yesterday on implementing environmental justice goals for frontline communities exposed to transportation pollution, such as major highways, rail yards, warehouses, and ports. The White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council (WHEJAC) is meeting this week to consider this and other comments as they advise federal agencies on related policy and programs.
