Abstract:

This project resulted in three products: a comprehensive "Sustainable Rail Checklist," a rail planning GIS database, and a web GIS tool that integrates sustainability metrics and facilitates a rapid assessment before a formal NEPA process is implemented for a rail project. The "Checklist" incorporates current academic research findings, legislation and government guidelines on evaluating the efficiency, safety, public health, ecological stress, emissions, and socioeconomic impacts of rail. The GIS database compiles location-specific data for rail infrastructure planning data through both data mining and environmental modeling. The web tool enables users to specify a geographic area in Illinois and obtain a summary of environmental, demographic, and rail infrastructure data of interest.
