• Abstract:
  PEL is a valuable tool for creating efficiencies in the transportation project development process that supports agencies’ efforts to accelerate project delivery. PEL represents a collaborative and integrated approach to transportation decision-making that considers benefits and impacts of proposed transportation system improvements to the environment, community, and economy during the transportation planning process to inform the environmental review process. This case study provides a hypothetical example of how the State Department of Transportation (DOT), West Sound Regional Council (WSRC), and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO) for the West Sound region used PEL to identify a preliminary set of alternatives during the planning process that could be carried forward into the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process.
