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.
