New Report for Expedited Planning and Environmental Review of Highway Projects
|
|
Greetings!
Delay in delivering new transportation projects is a national concern because it increases costs, prolongs congestion, and denies the nation the economic and mobility benefits of added transportation capacity. SHRP 2 Report S2-C19-RR-1, Expedited Planning and Environmental Review of Highway Projects, will be of interest to practitioners in the areas of long-range planning, corridor planning, programming, and environmental review. It describes constraints on expediting project delivery and useful strategies for achieving expedited delivery. While the strategies and constraints are associated with planning and environmental review, many of the strategies are applicable to design and construction. The results of this project are also available on the SHRP 2 website Transportation for Communities-Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP). TCAPP provides a series of self-evaluation questions organized around the constraints to help determine whether an agency is structured to regularly deliver projects in an expedited manner. This report is available as an Adobe PDF and in hardcopy through the TRB bookstore.
