Abstract:The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) is a procedural statute that requires Federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions on the human environment prior to making decisions. These case studies present examples from around the United States of how safety can be incorporated in NEPA. This case study document begins with a discussion of the Roadway Safety Management Process and its applicability to the broader project development process. The introduction and case studies then narrow the focus of safety analysis for the purpose of incorporating safety elements specifically within the context project purpose and need and the NEPA process. The document concludes with an Appendix of specific codes and federal regulations that help justify safety as a relevant part of the NEPA legal framework.
