What is a Planning & Environmental Linkages (PEL) Study?

▪ An early planning study that links planning and the National

Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) environmental studies.

▪ Initiates coordination with oversight agencies, stakeholders,

and members of the public.

▪ Streamlines the overall project development process and

minimizes duplication.

Purpose of the PEL Study

5

▪ Explore viable alternatives that include

improvements for a variety of

transportation modes, such as

high-occupancy vehicle lanes, truck lanes,

transit, rail, bicycle, and pedestrian.

▪ The PEL process will identify projects for

future implementation based on needs

within the study area.

Improve safety & mobility

Improve travel time

Improve economic competitiveness

Enhance multimodal operations

Address congestion



58

Purpose

▪Reduce congestion, improve safety, and move freight in a more efficient manner.

Need

▪ Increasing Congestion– 2040 Traffic Projections indicate additional congestion

▪Crash Rates – Corridor crash rates exceed statewide averages for similar facility

▪Truck Traffic – High proportion of trucks (up to 20%) restrict operations

▪System Linkage – Corridor is deficient at integration and connectivity of the

transportation system, across and between modes

▪Reliability – Non-reoccurring congestion reduces consistency in travel times
