Project Development and Environmental Assessments (PD&E) are critical processes that are used to assess the potential impacts of a proposed transportation project on the natural and human environment. The PD&E process is designed to ensure that transportation projects are developed in a way that minimizes negative impacts on the environment and maximizes the benefits to the community. It typically involves several key steps, including planning, environmental assessment, public involvement, design, construction, and monitoring and evaluation. By engaging in a thorough PD&E process, A/E/C professionals can help to ensure that transportation projects are developed in an environmentally responsible and sustainable manner.
