• Abstract:
  On June 23–24, 2003, the Transportation Research Board (TRB) held a workshop titled “Environmental Spatial Information for Transportation: A Peer Exchange on Partnerships.” The event, sponsored by the Office of National Environmental Policy Act Facilitation of the Federal Highway Administration, was intended to share information and document lessons learned by early adopters of innovative environmental data-sharing practices. Participants came from a range of organizations, including state departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, nonprofit organizations, and natural resources and regulatory agencies. To plan this peer exchange, TRB assembled a committee, appointed by the National Research Council (NRC), to organize and develop the workshop program. The planning committee was chaired by Ellen Oman, Washington State Department of Transportation. The summary of what occurred at the workshop was prepared by the rapporteur, David R. Fletcher, Geographic Paradigm Computing, Inc., with assistance from Thomas Palmerlee of the TRB staff. A more detailed introduction to the objectives of the peer exchange and the contents of this report are included in the Introduction. This report has been reviewed in draft form by individuals chosen for their diverse perspectives and technical expertise, in accordance with procedures approved by the NRC Report Review Committee. The purpose of this independent review is to provide candid and critical comments that will assist the institution in making its published report as sound as possible and to ensure that the report meets institutional standards for objectivity, evidence, and responsiveness to the study charge. The review comments and draft manuscript remain confidential to protect the integrity of the deliberative process. TRB thanks the following individuals for their review of this report: Steven Carter-Lovejoy, Virginia Division of Natural Heritage; John F. Conrad, Washington State Department of Transportation; and Anita Vandervalk, Cambridge Systematics, Inc., Tallahassee, Florida.
