The Federal Highway Administration cordially invites you join us for the launch of INVEST
Version 1.0 on October 10, 2012 from 2 PM - 3 PM EST via webcast.
INVEST = Infrastructure Voluntary Evaluation Sustainability Tool.
INVEST is a web-based self-evaluation tool for assessing sustainability over the life
cycle of a transportation project or program.
There are three score cards: systems planning, project development, and operations and
maintenance.
Of specific interest to this group, there is a "Multimodal transportation and Public
Health" criterion in the Systems Planning scorecard.
This will be a high level presentation, there will be add'l sessions to get into more
specifics.

INVEST Version 1.0 is a voluntary, internet-based tool enabling State, regional, and local
transportation agencies to evaluate the sustainability of their transportation plans,
projects and programs. After extensive input from industry stakeholders and pilot testing
with public agencies across the nation, INVEST 1.0 is ready to provide users with the
information necessary to balance the economic, environmental, and social impacts of
highways. FHWA is confident that INVEST 1.0 will become a valuable tool for transportation
agencies and others looking to learn more about sustainability and integrate sustainable
best practices into their projects and programs.
Please see the attached flyer for more information.
Please forward this invitation to others who you think would be interested in
participating in the webcast.
