Implementing Eco-Logical
On-Call Technical Assistance Team
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has created an On-Call Technical Assistance Team to provide responsive, individualized guidance and support to State DOT, MPOs, resource and regulatory agencies as they implement the Eco-Logical approach. This effort is in support of the SHRP2 Solutions Implementation Plan for Implementing Eco-Logical (C06B).
The Team can assist with organizational, technological, regulatory, or scientific issues. Technical assistance with implementing the Eco-Logical approach, could include such things as:
- Gaining general Eco-Logical implementation information
- Building collaboration and coordination within an agency
- Establishing connections and dialogue among agencies, including FHWA Division Offices, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), State Department of Transportations (State DOTs), and Federal and State resource/regulatory agencies
- Building geospatial data based regional ecological and infrastructure development frameworks (REIDF)
- Developing crediting strategies
- Prioritizing ecological actions and conservation objectives
The Team is comprised of a set of experts from:
- Federal Highway Administration,
- Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
- U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE),
- U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
- U.S. DOT Volpe Center, and
- Eco-Logical Champions.
