Pilot program on use of innovative practices for environmental reviews (a) Findings Congress finds the following: (1) The environmental review process for transportation infrastructure projects is complex and inefficient, resulting in delays and increased costs of delivery of needed improvements to our transportation system. (2) It is in the national interest to promote truly innovative approaches that have the potential to yield positive environmental and transportation outcomes more quickly and efficiently, with greater transparency and responsiveness to all stakeholders. (b) Establishment The Secretary of Transportation shall establish a pilot program to promote the use of innovative practices in carrying out environmental reviews for transportation projects, including innovative practices that— (1) integrate environmental planning or other techniques involving consideration of multiple resources on a watershed or ecosystem scale; (2) enhance environmental mitigation and enhancement measures that will result in a substantial improvement over existing conditions in an ecosystem or watershed; (3) use innovative technologies that enable more effective public participation in decision making, including use of visualization, animation, and other advanced methods for depicting alternatives
