The No-Action Alternative; Impact Assessment Guidelines
The subject of these Guidelines is the transportation planning process. Transportation planning today is in a period of rapid change. Vehement and often bitter debates have marked the collapse of the postwar consensus that saw the solution to transportation problems in highway construction. Today there is a rising demand for consideration of a wider range of transportation alternatives, including transit and better use of existing highways. This demand for a more sophisticated approach has been underscored by the pressures of environmental conservation, community preservation and energy shortages. These influences, in combination with shrinking transportation budgets, are forcing state and local transportation agencies to develop more rigorous procedures for impact assessment and the evaluation of alternatives. The Guidelines recommend policy and procedures changes to strengthen both assessment and evaluation. The mechanism for this is the no-action alternative, which can provide a benchmark for assessment of impacts and the evaluation of alternatives.
