Title: ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH NEEDS IN TRANSPORTATION
Accession Number: 00736003
Record Type: Monograph
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: This Circular documents the second in a series of conferences held to identify and document the most critical transportation environmental research needs, as a guide to research agencies and programs. In November 1996, 140 environmental experts from around the country assembled for two and one-half days in the Transportation Research Board's Washington offices and worked collegially to identify research needs. Participants formed into thirteen work groups, each group representing a different environmental topic area. After identifying and prioritizing research needs, the groups drafted work statements and budgets for the top research needs. These research statements form the main body of this Circular, along with resource papers developed for each topic. The thirteen topic areas are as follows: Aesthetics and Visual Quality; Air Quality; Cultural Resources; Energy Conservation, Alternative Fuels, and Climate Change; Environmental Review Process; Hazardous Material Transport; Hazardous Waste; Noise; Operations and Maintenance; Social and Economic Impacts, Including Environmental Justice; Water Quality and Hydrology; Wetlands; and Wildlife and Ecosystems.
