5 Our survival is linked to environmental, social and economic systems

6 NEPA and project review Walk Forward... Select project Work through system Get permittable project This process doesn t ask: Is it the best TBL project? Maximize social, economic and environmental benefits? This paradigm focuses on: Least damage while achieving Transportation objective. Permittable Project

32 Engage all staff Measure and improve performance Promote best practices Identify gaps in thinking Identify gaps in funding Start conversations

33 GreenLITES Planning Project Solicitation Tool developed by NYSDOT in collaboration with several NYS Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs). Tool s purpose is to ensure a more balanced approach in selecting projects and making sustainable transportation decisions. Municipalities self rate their proposed projects. Rated projects considered by MPOs for inclusion in the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

34 GreenLITES Design Project designs are evaluated for over 175 possible sustainable practices in the five categories.

35 GreenLITES for Operations GreenLITES incorporated into Annual Maintenance & Operations Plan Started in 2009 Within 15 categories: Bridges, Pavement, Drainage, Signal & Lighting, Snow & Ice, Facilities, ITS, Roadside Environment, Guiderail, Signs, Fleet Admin, Walls & Rock Slopes, Safety, Multimodal Over 95 green items added Promote innovative practices

36 Draft Regional Assessment Tool Economy Current State / Metric? Desired State Access to jobs and labor Transportation Preservation (Maintenance backlog) Transit passenger miles Environment Petroleum consumption reduction Air Quality CO2 emissions Water Quality Habitat Quality Social Equity (Includes Livability & Safety) Fatality and injury reductions per VMT Improved mobility for all including the disadvantaged and disabled Generational Equity Access to affordable transportation

37 GreenLITES Certification Levels Certification level based on total points received. The highest certification goes to designs and operations which clearly advance the state of sustainable transportation solutions. Level: Non- Certified Certified Silver Gold Evergreen Symbol: No Symbol Design Points: & up

38 Earth Day & GreenLITES Evergreen plaques Silver, Gold certificates. 3 rd Year: 260 projects, 90 Operations Groups, 11 Regions, 5 External

39 Organic Freeware Began with Design based on: Building industry LEED program U of Washington Greenroads initiative Evolved to include all activities Transparent self certification program Still a Work in Progress Others encouraged to use and adapt

Evaluates individual projects for incorporation of sustainable practices. Ensure balanced approach in selecting projects and making sustainable transportation decisions. Integrates sustainability into Maintenance and Operations Plans.

Apply following MOP Items: 73c Salt Sensitivity Awareness Training 73b RWISS/MDSS 73e Use salt brine or alternative deicers 73a, 112o Use living or mechanical snow fences Project Design Actions: In all regional projects use living snow fence item: S 5d where appropriate. Project Planning Actions: Ensure project solicitation tool question 3 (environmental protection) covers salt issues. Operations Actions: For Phosphorus use MOP item numbers: 32 increase sweeping, 33 Clean catch basins, 44a address wash out threats 112h reduce mowing, 108 partner with other agencies to educate public on how residents can reduce phosphorous loading For Sediment loading use MOP Items: 106 vegetation erosion & sediment controls, 44a address washout treats 31 sweeping, 106 hydro seed, Project Design Actions: For Phosphorus, be certain projects use scorecard items: W1a, W1c, W2a, W2e (Stormwater mgt and other water quality MP s) For sediment loading, be certain projects use scorecard items: M4a, M4b, M4d, M4e (Bioengineering techniques) Project Planning Actions: Ensure project solicitation tool question 3 (environmental protection) covers phosphorus and sedimentation issues.
