Meting the nation¿s mobility needs requires constructing, improving, and repairing roads and bridges. However, these actions can have serious environ. impacts, such as harming water quality and wildlife and their habitats. This report assesses whether the changes Congress envisioned for transport. planning and the environmental review and approval of highway projects are being effectively carried out. The author assessed: (1) the progress that selected state departments of transport., metro. planning org., and the Fed. Highway Admin. (FHWA) have made in incorp. environ. considerations in transport. planning; and (2) the progress that selected states and FHWA have made in implementing changes in the environ. review of highway projects.
