Abstract:The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and state and local transportation agencies are
working hard to deliver projects more quickly and efficiently, and for less cost. Many state
departments of transportation (DOT) and local transportation planning organizations have
developed innovative programs to help them achieve these goals. Several of these programs
focus on streamlining compliance with Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act
and improving historic resource stewardship, through the early consideration of historic
preservation factors in planning and early project development. These programs are consistent
with the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Every Day Counts initiative to identify and
implement innovative practices that expedite project delivery, enhance roadway safety, and
protect the environment. An important element of the Every Day Counts initiative is FHWA’s
Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) program. PEL encourages the use of information
developed in transportation system planning to inform the National Environmental Protection
Act (NEPA) review process. PEL also is consistent with the regulations implementing
Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act (i.e., 36 CFR Part 800).
