  • Transit Project Delivery CBT Transcript
    NEPA Introduction Course: Transit Project Delivery Welcome to the National Environmental Policy Act also known as NEPA Introduction Course on Transit Project Delivery provided by the Florida Department of Transportation’s or FDOT’s Office of Environmental Management, as covered in Part 1, Chapter 14 of the Project Development and Environment (or PD&E) Manual. This course provides an overview of the transit project delivery process, agency roles in the environmental review process, an overview of FDOT’s five-step process, which includes planning and community support, concept development and alternatives screening, PD&E study phases, and the Federal Transit Administration’s, or FTA’s, funding programs. Lesson 1 provides an overview of transit projects and NEPA, including definitions used for transit projects, an introduction to the FTA, and a comparison of how NEPA is conducted for FTA versus the Federal Highway Administration, or FHWA. If a federal action is required or federal funding is being used, the project must comply with NEPA and other applicable environmental laws and regulations, including those related to historic preservation and protection of public lands. FTA is typically the lead agency for transit projects, when FTA funding is being used to construct the project or purchase vehicles. Other agencies may be involved in the NEPA process, such as Federal Highway Administration, or FHWA, if the project involves an interstate facility or bridge, or the Federal Railroad Administration or FRA, if the project involves a freight or passenger railroad corridor, such as Amtrak. FTA has its own procedures for NEPA compliance, including requiring the NEPA or project development phase to be completed within two years for certain funding programs.
