Abstract:To implement environmental streamlining initiatives, Federal, State, and local transportation and resource agencies must coordinate their activities throughout the environmental review process. However, many of these agencies lack sufficient staff to expedite this process. To help overcome this obstacle, many State departments of transportation (DOT) are using interagency funding agreements to hire additional staff for resource agencies. Section 1309(e) of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century (TEA21) allows States to use Federal-aid project funds through interagency agreements (cost reimbursement) to provide additional resources to Federal and State agencies involved in environmental streamlining activities. However, establishing interagency agreements can be challenging and intimidating, so the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is helping facilitate this process.
