Race and Social Justice Initiative

Program and Key Principles

The City of Seattle is working toward a future where racial equity is achieved. The Race and Social Justice Initiative (RSJI) is a Citywide effort to end institutionalized racism and race-based gaps in City government. Read more about the RSJI ordinance.

Through our work, SDOT aims to end institutional racism, biases, and inequity in our transportation system and workforce. We work equity into all that we do, including safety measures, how we distribute services, affordability, and community engagement. We share the actions that we take towards equity on the City Racial Equity Actions page.
