Acknowledgements

The Ports Primer for Communities and Community Action Roadmap have been developed by the Environmental Protection Agency’s Office of Transportation and Air Quality (OTAQ) in partnership with Regional Offices and the Office of Environmental Justice to support near-ports communities in improving their local quality of life.

This work builds off of the Community Action for a Renewed Environment (CARE) Roadmap, which originated with the National Environmental Justice Advisory Council. More information on the CARE Roadmap is available in the Community Action Resources section of this document.
