1、131 Federal Highway Administration, DOT Pt. 460 in order to better integrate NEPA consider-ations into transportation planning studies. The answers to the following two questions also contain useful information on training and staffing opportunities. 18. How have environmental, regulatory, and resou

2、rce agency liaisons (Federally- and State DOT-funded positions) and partnership agreements been used to provide the exper-tise and interagency participation needed to enhance the consideration of environmental factors in the planning process? For several years, States have utilized Federal and State

3、 transportation funds to support focused and accelerated project re-view by a variety of local, State, Tribal, and Federal agencies. While Section 1309(e) of the TEA21 and its successor in SAFETEALU section 6002 speak specifically to transpor-tation project streamlining, there are other authorities

4、that have been used to fund posi-tions, such as the Intergovernmental Co-operation Act (31 U.S.C. 6505). In addition, long-term, on-call consultant contracts can provide backfill support for staff that are de-tailed to other parts of an agency for tem-porary assignments. At last count (as of 2003),

5、246 positions were being funded. Addi-tional information on interagency funding agreements is available at: http:/environ-ment.fhwa.dot.gov/strmlng/igdocs/index.htm. Moreover, every State has advanced a vari-ety of stewardship and streamlining initia-tives that necessitate early involvement of envir

6、onmental, regulatory, and resource agencies in the project development process. Such process improvements have: addressed the exchange of data to support avoidance and impact analysis; established formal and informal consultation and review schedules; advanced mitigation strategies; and resulted in

7、a variety of programmatic reviews. Inter-agency agreements and workplans have evolved to describe performance objectives, as well as specific roles and responsibilities related to new streamlining initiatives. Some States have improved collaboration and efficiency by co-locating environmental, regul

8、atory, and resource and transportation agency staff. 19. What training opportunities are avail-able to MPOs, State DOTs, public transpor-tation operators and environmental, regu-latory, and resource agencies to assist in their understanding of the transportation planning and NEPA processes? Both the

9、 FHWA and the FTA offer a vari-ety of transportation planning, public in-volvement, and NEPA courses through the National Highway Institute and/or the Na-tional Transit Institute. Of particular note is the Linking Planning and NEPA Workshop, which provides a forum and facilitated group discussion am

10、ong and between State DOT; MPO; Federal, Tribal, and State environ-mental, regulatory, and resource agencies; and FHWA/FTA representatives (at both the executive and program manager levels) to develop a State-specific action plan that will provide for strengthened linkages between the transportation

11、 planning and NEPA proc-esses. Moreover, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Serv-ice offers Green Infrastructure Workshops that are focused on integrating planning for natural resources (green infrastructure) with the development, economic, and other infrastructure needs of society (gray infra-structure). R

12、obust planning and multi-issue environ-mental screening requires input from a wide variety of disciplines, including information technology; transportation planning; the NEPA process; and regulatory, permitting, and environmental specialty areas (e.g., noise, air quality, and biology). Senior man-ag

13、ers at transportation and partner agencies can arrange a variety of individual training programs to support learning curves and skill development that contribute to a strengthened link of the transportation plan-ning and NEPA processes. Formal and infor-mal mentoring on an intra-agency basis can be

14、arranged. Employee exchanges within and between agencies can be periodically sched-uled, and persons involved with professional leadership programs can seek temporary as-signments with partner agencies. IV. Additional Information on this Topic Valuable sources of information are FHWAs environment we

15、bsite (http:/ www.fhwa.dot.gov/environment/index.htm) and FTAs environmental streamlining website (http:/www.environment.fta.dot.gov). Another source of information and case studies is NCHRP Report 838 (Consideration of Envi-ronmental Factors in Transportation Sys-tems Planning), which is available

16、at http:/ www4.trb.org/trb/crp.nsf/All+Projects/ NCHRP+838. In addition, AASHTOs Center for Environmental Excellence website is con-tinuously updated with news and links to in-formation of interest to transportation and environmental professionals (www.transportation.environment.org).
