Graphic with the words Ecosystem Approach encircled by the names of the three elements (Performance Measurement, Integrated Planning, and Mitigation Options). Each element has a blue arrow pointing clockwise from it to the next element.

Program Overview

Developed by a team of representatives from FHWA and seven other Federal agencies, Eco-Logical articulates a vision for an infrastructure development process that endorses ecosystem-based mitigation through integrating plans and data across agency and disciplinary boundaries.

FHWA's Eco-Logical grant program supports the initiatives that implement the principles set forth in Eco-Logical. Currently, the grant program funds 15 projects nationwide.
