Crafting Sustainable Futures with FHWA & NHI’s Expertise Paving the Way

In the dynamic and evolving landscape of highway transportation, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the National Highway Institute (NHI) are trailblazers committed to fostering sustainable development and environmental preservation. One of many exclusive courses NHI offers is 142078 Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL). This course is designed to empower you with essential understanding and skills to navigate the complex relationship between transportation infrastructure planning and development and environmental concerns. FHWA’s Environmental Review Toolkit defines PEL as a collaborative and integrated approach to transportation decision-making that considers environmental, community, and economic goals in transportation planning processes. Using the information, analysis, and products developed during planning informs the environmental review process. Let NHI’s PEL training be your guide, paving the way for a greener, more sustainable tomorrow.
