Research for the AASHTO Standing Committee on the Environment. Task 36. Recurring Community Impacts
Community impacts assessment is not only a critical part of the National Environmental Protection Agency (NEPA) process, it is essential for building trust and securing grassroots support for projects. Direct impacts to communities, particularly low-income and minority neighborhoods, are reasonably well understood, and there are proven techniques and methodologies to help practitioners identify and quantify the effects on the human environment. Measuring cumulative impacts on communities, however, has proven more problematic, given the dynamics of community growth and development and the complex nature of these impacts. The objective of this study is to develop guidelines for state departments of transportation (DOTs) on how best to address recurring community impacts in NEPA documents.</font>
