Implementing Eco-Logical
On-Call Technical Assistance Team

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has created an On-Call Technical Assistance Team to provide responsive, individualized guidance and support to State DOT, MPOs, resource and regulatory agencies as they implement the Eco-Logical approach. This effort is in support of the SHRP2 Solutions Implementation Plan for Implementing Eco-Logical (C06B).

The Team can assist with organizational, technological, regulatory, or scientific issues. Technical assistance with implementing the Eco-Logical approach, could include such things as:

• Gaining general Eco-Logical implementation information
• Building collaboration and coordination within an agency
• Establishing connections and dialogue among agencies, including FHWA Division Offices, Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), State Department of Transportations (State DOTs), and Federal and State resource/regulatory agencies
• Building geospatial data based regional ecological and infrastructure development frameworks (REIDF)
• Developing crediting strategies
• Prioritizing ecological actions and conservation objectives

The Team is comprised of a set of experts from:

• Federal Highway Administration,
• Environmental Protection Agency (EPA),
• U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE),
• U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS),
• U.S. DOT Volpe Center, and
• Eco-Logical Champions.
