Implement in conjunction with mitigation strategies PAC Mitigation & Policy Priorities • May 31: Consultant Recommendation • Improved transit & other transportation options are essential strategies for equity & mobility • Special provisions are needed for low-income populations • Diversion strategies should be incorporated in design to minimize and mitigate negative impacts
