• Abstract:
  These guidelines have been prepared by the Urban Mass Transportation Administration's (UMTA) Office of Transit Assistance to provide guidance in the preparation and review of Environmental Assessments of mass transportation projects. The guidelines should help in carrying out the requirements of UMTA's "Environmental Impact and Related Procedures" recently published in the Federal Register. UMTA has identified three classes of action that require different levels of environmental analysis and documentation. Projects are placed in one of these three classes according to the probable significance of their impacts on the human environment. UMTA has specified the type of analysis and process to follow in examining each class of action.
