TRB’s second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP 2) Capacity Project C40B has released a report that explores the application of a geospatial tool to support integrated ecological planning at regional and local levels.

The C40B project also produced two other reports, one report related to ecological planning for the California US-101 highway and an additional proof of concept report about the Contra Costa County Transportation Authority.

The related C40A project produced a report that documents the development of an integrated, geospatial ecological screening tool for early transportation planning to help inform the environmental review process.
