An Evaluation of the "Community Impact Assessment: A Quick Reference for Transportation" Booklet and Related Practices

A national Community Impact Assessment Evaluation was conducted by the Center for Urban Transportation Research at the University of South Florida. The evaluation form, distributed to metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) and state departments of transportation (DOTs), requested information on practitioners' knowledge and use of Community Impact Assessment techniques. The responses were used to measure the use of "Community Impact Assessment: A Quick Reference for Transportation," a booklet developed by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), state DOTs and MPOs. The use of techniques described in the booklet was also assessed. The evaluation provided insight on the effect of the booklet on increasing the awareness of community impact issues and promoting greater consideration of these issues in organizational, project decision making. The overall results were used to determine training and other community impact assessment needs.
