• Abstract:
  On March 21-22, 2012, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Office of Project Development and ; Environmental Review sponsored a two-day peer exchange to convene recipients of FHWA Eco-Logical ; grants whose projects achieved noteworthy accomplishments during the initial grant period and who ; demonstrated potential to replicate components of their project, promote further adoption of Eco-Logical ; by partner agencies, or test additional components of the Eco-Logical approach. FHWA hosted the peer ; exchange at the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) Headquarters in Washington, ; D.C, and participants included staff from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM), Chicago Department ; of Transportation (DOT), Colorado DOT, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Region 6, ; FHWA, Houston-Galveston Area Council (H-GAC), Thomas Jefferson Planning District Council ; (TJPDC), Transportation Research Board (TRB), FHWA Office of Project Development and ; Environmental Review, FHWA Office of Planning and the U.S. DOT Volpe National Transportation ; Systems Center. ; The purpose of the peer exchange was to better understand effective and replicable implementation ; strategies, document the next steps of the targeted grant recipients’ projects, and determine specific ; funding needs of grant recipients to further implement the Eco-Logical approach. The participants in the ; peer exchange also discussed lessons learned and challenges faced while implementing their grant ; projects. This report summarizes the presentations given and the discussions that followed. It is expected ; that this document will be a resource for FHWA in determining the direction of the Eco-Logical grant ; Program and for identifying methods that may be useful for expanding the adoption of the Eco-Logical ; approach on a national scale.
