​​​​The Environmental Division is responsible for identifying, assessing, mitigating and documenting environmental risk to TDOT on projects and operations from early project development through construction and into maintenance.

We focus on:
     •   Integrating environmental considerations and regulatory requirements into TDOT’s transportation programs and                   operations;
     •   Providing a broad range of technical expertise in the natural and human environment;
     •   Providing environmental (NEPA) documents and permits for TDOT projects and activities; and
     •   Coordinating with regulatory agencies to streamline the environmental review and permit processes.
