Chapter 4 contains the papers presented on land-use and environmental considerations, discussion topics, and the results of the workshops on this topic. Edward Beimborn, Center for Urban Transportation Studies, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, provides an overview of land-use activities of the state departments of transportation (DOTs) and discusses how states incorporate land-use issues into their statewide transportation planning and policy efforts. Ysela Llort, Florida Department of Transportation, describes Florida's Transportation and Land-Use Study Committee and the committee's report, which dealt with four areas: better community design; concurrency; land-use impact and coordination; and investment decisions. Charles Howard, Washington State Department of Transportation, discusses a Washington State project on reinventing the NEPA (National Environmental Policy Act) process, or, in other words, taking the NEPA analysis and doing NEPA in a corridor planning sense. Janet Myers, Maine Department of Transportation, discusses Maine's incorporation of environmental policy in its statewide transportation planning and the involvement of the public in transportation planning. |
