Comments Supporting GDOT Application for NEPA Assignment

ARTBA submitted comments to the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) strongly supporting the Georgia Department of Transportation’s (GDOT) application to assume federal environmental review responsibilities under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA). ARTBA emphasized that the proposed agreement would streamline environmental reviews, reduce duplicative procedures, and accelerate highway project delivery while maintaining federal environmental protections and oversight. Citing shorter review timelines and cost savings reported by other participating states, ARTBA urged FHWA to approve Georgia’s application and finalize the agreement expeditiously.
