Pilot Tests of TCAPP and the Integrated Ecological Framework
|
|
Greetings!
SHRP 2 ran two sets of pilot tests to examine the premises of the Integrated Ecological Framework (IEF) and the Transportation for Communities--Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP) web tool, which were developed in SHRP 2 Capacity projects. The C18 series of pilots (Pilot Test the Collaborative Decision-Making Framework with Three DOTs, Including a Self-Assessment Method) tested TCAPP in four scenarios with the Washington State Department of Transportation (DOT), Puget Sound Regional Council, Minnesota DOT, and the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments (Colorado). The main objective of the C18 series was to test TCAPP while it was still under development and to use feedback obtained from the pilots to modify the product and enhance its usefulness to practitioners. The C21 series of pilots (Pilot Test the C06 A & B Approaches to Environmental Protection) tested the IEF in Colorado, Oregon, California, and West Virginia. Each of these pilots tested specific steps of the 9-step IEF process. The reports from these eight pilot tests are available on the following page.
