Abstract:FHWA is undertaking a significant amount of work related to sustainability across a number of program areas throughout the Agency. The purpose of this report is to showcase some of the ways in which FHWA is
incorporating and embedding sustainability into its programs, projects, policies, processes, and partnerships. This
report will highlight several agency initiatives and programs including “Action Areas” developed in consultation and
collaboration with the FHWA Sustainability Working Group. The Action Areas are those in which there is
currently a focus on sustainability, or are emerging activities that support the “triple bottom line” principles of
sustainability. While sustainability is fully supported in other long-standing and well-established programs
throughout the agency, the featured Action Areas represent significant opportunities for new growth and
advancement in this area and have high potential for achieving sustainability goals and benefits in the near term.
This report will serve as a resource to the public, transportation professionals, and those working within FHWA
to help them better understand the various sustainability activities and initiatives moving forward within the
Agency.
