Transportation equity or justice usually refers to the fairness with which the impacts of transportation such as benefits and costs are distributed. Horizontal equity, also called fairness and egalitarianism, is concerned with the distribution of impacts between individuals and groups considered equal in ability and need; vertical equity is concerned with the distribution of impacts between individuals and groups that differ in abilities and needs, for example, by income or social class (also called social justice, environmental justice and social inclusion) or in transportation ability and need otherwise known as universal design (Litman, 2018).
