TRB will conduct a webinar on Tuesday, October 31, 2017, from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM ET that examines ways to navigate through the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process, such as moving projects through the NEPA process in an expedited timeframe; whether a project may end up in a lawsuit; and whether a NEPA document will hold up in court. This webinar will discuss the commonalities among projects that were successfully expedited through the NEPA process. The presenters will also discuss the factors that contribute to a project's inability to obtain expedited NEPA decisions.
This webinar was organized by the TRB Standing Committee on Environmental Analysis in Transportation.
Some registrants will need to pay $55 to attend this webinar. Sign into MyTRB.org to view registration information.
