APBP has signed on to support Congresswoman Frederica Wilson’s (D-FL) letter to the Department of Transportation on legislation to permanently re-establish the Advisory Committee on Transportation Equity (ACTE) to help ensure that transportation policies and investments are equitably serving all communities. This committee would be comprised of community, academic, and government stakeholders to advise the Transportation secretary on policies to promote equity through community engagement and interagency collaborations.

The ACTE was established under former DOT Secretary Anthony Foxx to "provide advice and recommendations to the Transportation secretary on comprehensive, interdisciplinary issues related to transportation equity from a variety of stakeholders involved in transportation planning, design, research, policy, and advocacy." The committee was tasked with identifying best practices to implement the department's "opportunity principles" to promote agencies, programs, and projects that would strengthen and revitalize communities through a comprehensive, community-focused approach.

The committee, which was established with a two-year charter, was eliminated by the Trump administration in January 2018, nearly one year before the charter was due to expire. As Congress considers major infrastructure investment and policies to move the US forward, APBP advocates for the DOT taking actionable measures to ensure that marginalized urban, rural, tribal, and other underserved communities are equitably allocated resources to help them thrive.
