National Highway Institute Course on Historic Preservation
The SRI Foundation is co-teaching a new National Highway Institute (NHI) course,
entitled “Beyond Compliance: Historic Preservation in Transportation
Project Development” (Course Number 142049). This course, developed by
SRI Foundation, AMEC Earth & Environmental, Inc., and the University of Maryland,
is designed to help transportation, NEPA, and historic preservation professionals
meet
the
requirements
of Section
106 regulations and take advantage of the flexibility and autonomy offered
in the regulations. The course focuses on the fundamentals of NEPA, Section
106, and Section 4(f) of the Department of Transportation Act, and provides
techniques for coordinating transportation planning, project development and
compliance with these three laws. The course emphasizes practical approaches
for real-world situations and the importance of balancing stewardship and project
delivery. Information on this course is available at the NHI site.
