The goal of the AASHTO Environmental Management Technical Service Program is to supply AASHTO members with the tools and resources necessary to enhance their department’s program delivery, environmental streamlining and environmental stewardship. The AASHTO Environmental Management Technical Service Program allows AASHTO staff to collaborate with the state DOTs and other experts to develop comments on relevant proposed federal legislation regulations, and guidance. The AASHTO Environmental Management Technical Service Program also provides opportunities for partnership building and collaborative problem solving among state and federal transportation and environmental organizations. The AASHTO Environmental Management Technical Service Program has supported two Stormwater Practitioners’ meetings as well as Committee on Environment and Sustainability (CES) participation in other environmental conferences of national importance.

Another resource available to all contributing members of the AASHTO Environmental Management Technical Service Program is the Bureau of National Affairs’ (BNA) Transportation/Environment Alert—Newsletter. This weekly newsletter highlights the latest developments in the field of transportation and environmental management, compliance, and stewardship. It provides information on federal legislative and administrative actions, state DOT case studies, and AASHTO program updates.
