Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) Guidance |
摘要: |
TxDOT’s Research and Technology Implementation (RTI) Division funded research project 0-6701 in FY 2012 to investigate potential methods of linking transportation planning in Texas with the environmental clearance process required of the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). The study approach and findings were documented in a research report (0-6701-1) and a guidance document entitled Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) Resource for Linking Planning with Project Planning in Support of NEPA (0-6701-P1). The research team will: (1) Conduct structured interviews with TxDOT’s planning and environmental subject matter experts, five of the state’s Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), and up to five State Departments of Transportation that pioneered Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) in FY 2012 to determine the need for updated/new PEL Guidance given that 0-6701-P1 was developed a decade ago as well as TxDOT’s participation in the NEPA Assignment program under 23 U.S.C. 327 and the Memorandum of Understanding with FHWA originally dated December 16, 2014 and renewed on December 9, 2019 (Phase 1) and, (2) Update 0-6701-P1 if the interviews reveal the need for updated/additional guidance (Phase 2). Phase 2 will only be conducted if the Phase I interviews reveal the need for updated/additional guidance. The scope of services and budget for Phase 2 will be finalized in consultation with TxDOT based on the outcome of Phase 1. |
