Hello everyone,
I am seeking examples of DOTs or specific highway/corridor projects where active transportation needs were incorporating into the purpose and need statements of federally-funded projects going through the environmental process. I'm not necessarily looking for P&N from standalong bike/ped projects, rather multi-modal projects where the active transportation facilities were included along with a congestion management or similar project. 

The goal is to make recommendations at the DOT, MPO and community level to include these elements in the purpose and need so they are less likely to be eliminated and deemed "amenities" if there are difficulties in navigating the environmental process. 

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide. 

Don
