Integrating Sustainability Planning and the Environmental Review Process
Environmental regulations have long required airports to undertake review of many
actions associated with planning and development. More recently, airports have embraced
sustainability as a means for ensuring the long-term viability and community benefits of
their facilities.
The TRB Airport Cooperative Research Program's
ACRP Research Report 209: Integrating Sustainability Planning and the Environmental Review Process is designed for airport industry practitioners
who are interested in gaining a better understanding of the benefits of integrating environmental
review with sustainability planning, and who would like strategies and tools to
help them implement this integration.
While there remain challenges to integrating environmental review and
sustainability, this report should help guide practitioners on the many opportunities for integration and alignment.
