TPEAC Products and Related Transportation Tools
By bringing multiple stakeholders to the
table, TPEAC and its subcommittees have produced and
contributed to tools to improve the efficiency and
effectiveness of the permitting process. The
diagram below is shows how TPEAC products fit into
projects of varying complexity and frequency.
Coordinated Permitting Tools, shown on the right
side of the diagram, aim to increase the efficiency and
effectiveness of the existing regulatory system.
Permitting Process Improvements, shown here on the
left, seek to change how agencies and regulated entities
approach environmental permitting for transportation
projects.
As shown in the diagram, transportation
projects range in complexity and frequency from routine
maintenance to large, multi-part construction
procedures and improvement projects with the majority
falling somewhere in between [Click within the triangle
to learn more about the distinction between levels].
The tools developed and enhanced by TPEAC and its
subcommittees address transportation projects across
this spectrum. Click on any of the tools in the
diagram to learn more about how they contribute to a
timely, cost-effective permitting process that still
meets standards for environmental protection.
