MTM214 :
Sanchez V Caltrans
Sanchez V Caltrans
Final paper written for MTM214, Fall 2020.
This class is offered through the Mineta Transportation Institute's Master of Science in Transportation Management (MSTM).I took it as one of my electives; there is only one land use planning law course available in the SJSU program, and I wanted to have an understanding of the transportation laws specifically. Although this paper focuses on individuals' constitutional rights, I chose to look at the Sanchez v Caltrans case because I wanted to understand a community's rights when dealing with acts by state organizations. The decision had also just come down, during the civic actions during the summer, and I felt compelled to look at other marginalized communities.
