The Equity Budget Analysis (EBA) is a crucial tool in guiding us to critically evaluate the impact of our decisions on both our community and staff.The City of Tucson is committed to embracing diversity and ensuring equitable outcomes from our services and practices for all, regardless of individuals' social or economic backgrounds.
