Why Make the Linkage?
This action would:
Provide a broad-brush environmental analysis
·
during the planning solutions assessment process
to identify where potential mitigation is required,
to ensure continued viability of preferred
solutions.
Provide an opportunity to begin the identifi-
·
cation of indirect and cumulative effects at a
regional level. Such actions as the determination
of an appropriate boundary, identification of
data currently available for this analysis, and
identification of data needed prior to project
development could be initiated in systems
planning.
Support a more robust analysis of potential plan
·
recommendations.
Allow a more complete understanding
·
between planning partners of the mission,
requirements, and challenges of the
various agencies.
What to Consider?
Deciding the tools, target resource,
·
and scope to use for cumulative effects
analysis. Different areas are often analyzed
for different affected resources.
Analysis tools may not be sufficient
·
to analyze multiple effects to the level
resource agencies anticipate at the project
level. Nevertheless, an effort should be
made to determine the analysis that can be
practicably accomplished on a planning
level.
Planning partners may be reluctant to
·
accept analysis done by others.
What Data Informs
This Linkage?
The primary analysis tool at the transportation
planning level is the travel demand model. The travel
demand model uses information such as roadway
and transit networks and demographic data to
calculate the expected demand for transportation
facilities. For use of more qualitative information,
other decision support tools or processes may be
used. Environmental data could be acquired from
natural resource agencies and organizations. Data
such as wetland locations, natural heritage sites, and
historic properties should be considered.
