Minimum 20‐year Horizon Fiscal Constraint

• A demonstration of sufficient funds (Federal, State, regional, local, private,

etc.) to implement proposed transportation system improvements through the comparison of revenues and costs, with reasonable assurance that the federally supported transportation system is being adequately operated and maintained

Funding Forecast based on Reasonably Available Funds

• Funds derived from an existing source dedicated to or historically used for

transportation purposes

Costs expressed in Year‐of‐Expenditure

• To properly reflect anticipated inflation

• NEPA applies when a Federal agency

intends to carry out, fund, or approve a proposed action

• NEPA Decisions
• Categorical Exclusion – no individual or

cumulative impacts (small routine projects)

• Environmental Assessment ‐ determine the

significance of environmental impacts

• Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI)

– no substantial impacts

• Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) –

describes the proposed action, alternatives, and impacts

• Record of Decision (ROD) – states the

preferred alternative

NEPA Transportation Planning Process

Categorical Exclusion YES NO Environmental Assessment FONSI Environmental Impact Statement Record of Decision Exception

(re‐evaluate alternatives or terminate)

In order for FHWA to issue a ROD:

• Project needs to be FULLY FUNDED THROUGH

CONSTRUCTION in the LRTP

• A phase of the project needs to be in the LRTP, with

the subsequent phase fully funded in the TIP
