Application of Geospatial Ecological Tools and Data in the Planning and Programming Phases of Delivering New Highway Capacity: Proof of Concept—Contra Costa County Transportation Authority
TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Capacity Project C40B has released a report that tested the integrated, geospatial ecological screening tool, Eco-Plan, which was developed for early effective transportation planning. This report also tested six other tools designed by the Federal highway Administration (FHWA), the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).
The C40B project also produced two other reports, one
report related to ecological planning for the California US-101 highway and another
proof of concept report about the East-West Council of Governments.
