Survey of the Impacts of Environmental Regulations on State Highway Operations

摘要

In recent years, the transportation industry in Kentucky as represented byKentuckians for better Transportation (KBT) and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KyTC), have expressed concern over the growing impact of environmental regulations upon transportation activities in the state. KBT and KyTC contracted with the Kentucky Transportation Center (KTC) to conduct a study to (1) identify the impacts of environmental laws and regulations on KyTC and (2) determine whether the environmental impacts affecting KyTC are comparable to those affecting other state transportation agencies.
