NCDOT wins environmental awards

The N.C. Department of Transportation (NCDOT) received three 2005
Environmental Excellence Awards from the Federal Highway
Admini-stration (FHWA) on April 22, as part of an Earth Day ceremony
in Washington, D.C.

...

NCDOTÂ’s Scenic Byways and Environmental Research programs along with
the Reedy Creek Greenway and I-440 Pedestrian Bridge in Wake County
each received an award for exceeding environmental standards. Awards
are presented in 11 categories ranging from “Air Quality Improvement”
and “Environmental Research” to “Non-motorized Transportation” and
“Scenic Byways.”

North Carolina is the only state to receive awards in multiple
categories this year. Winners were selected from among 238 nominations
from 38 states and the District of Columbia.

...

NCDOTÂ’s Environmental Research Program won the FHWAÂ’s Excellence in
Environ-mental Research award for its work to improve knowledge of
transportation and its effects on the natural environment and
communities.

A recognized national leader in environmental research, NCDOT is one
of only seven states that use state funds to supplement FHWA research
dollars for its environmental research program. The department has
participated in projects spanning many areas of environmental research
including wetland mitigation, freshwater mussels, wildlife passages
and water quality.

Many of these projects involve extensive cooperation and partnerships
among other agencies, which allows the department to help develop
innovative solutions to environmental issues.

The stateÂ’s Scenic Byways Program received the Excellence in Scenic
Byways Award. This award recognizes the departmentÂ’s efforts to create
a system of roads that highlight the stateÂ’s historic, cultural and
scenic treasures while providing motorists with an unique travel
system that serves as an option to faster-paced traffic found on
interstates and in commercial areas.

North Carolina has more than 1,700 miles of designated byways on 49
different routes, including N.C. 24-27 in Moore County. Byways are
carefully chosen to represent some of the stateÂ’s most geographically
diverse and environmentally-sen­sitive areas.

NCDOT works with local governments and organizations to ensure
preservation of the natural beauty and resources found along these
routes.

In 2003, NCDOT partnered with the N.C. Department of Public
Instruction to create a new educational program that links the N.C.
Scenic Byways Program with education. The result was a teacherÂ’s guide
containing hands-on lesson plans to help fourth-grade students gain a
greater knowledge of the byway program while learning about the
stateÂ’s diverse geography, history and cultural heritage.

The guide is accompanied by DVDs that visually explore North
CarolinaÂ’s scenic byways.

NCDOTÂ’s Reedy Creek Greenway and I-440 pedestrian bridge is the
recipient of the Excellence in Non-Motorized Transportation Award for
successfully integrating environmental concerns into transportation
planning, promoting livable communities, building partnerships and
increasing the amount of pedestrian and bicycle use. The projectÂ’s
second phase, which includes the 660-foot I-440 pedestrian bridge, was
recently opened to the public.
