This workshop is designed for both practitioners and
researchers to provide an understanding of how resource
planning and transportation planning are being
integrated to ensure coordinated, transparent, and
balanced results yielding solutions that protect the
environment and advance the delivery of transportation
projects. Joint planning (in keeping with Sections 6001,
6002, 3005, and 3006 of SAFETEA-LU) has received
increasing emphasis.

Transportation Operations and Ecology: Working in and
Around Water |

|

Debra A. Nelson, New York State
Department of Transportation, presiding
Sponsored by:
Maintenance and Operations Management Committee (ADH10)
Ecology and Transportation Committee (ADC30)
Transportation maintenance and operations activities
often involve work in or near streams, wetlands, and
other special aquatic sites. Work in these settings
requires extra attention and consideration to ensure
protection of these valuable natural resources and often
requires permits from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers
under the Section 404 Program as well as from state
resource agencies.

Committee (ADD50)
Efforts to address the ecological impacts of development
projects are particularly challenging for transportation
planners, who must consider
finite cultural, historic, and archaeological resources.
Long-term ecological protection and timely
project delivery are increasingly dependent on
interdisciplinary solutions and coordination at regional
and statewide planning levels.
This session will discuss effective planning efforts
across disciplines and across jurisdictional boundaries.
