Welcome to the public scoping meeting for the Interstate 66 Tier 1 Environmental
Impact Statement (EIS). The study team is seeking to determine the scope of issues
to be addressed in the EIS. Representatives of VDOT and its consultants are available
to answer your questions and listen to your thoughts and concerns. We strongly
encourage your comments and feedback.
Several key items to note:
A Tier 1 EIS differs from traditional EIS's in that it focuses on broad issues such
as purpose and need; travel mode (bus, carpool, rail transit, car, etc.) and
technology choices; and the general location of proposed improvements.
The primary goal of this meeting ipto obtain your input and to share information
that is available at this very early stage of the study.
The subsequent Tier 2 analyses will focus on site-specific details, including
specific project impacts, costs and mitigation.
April 201 I +June 201 1 'October 201 1 -May 2012 -
- -- --- - - -- -
June 2012 - November 2012- December 2012
The following decisions will be made at the completion of the Tier 1 study:
The concepts to be advanced for the 1-66 Corridor, including transit improvements, transportation demand management strategies, and/or roadway improvements. Within these concepts, consideration will be given to managed lanes and tolling;
The general location for studying future highway and transit improvements in the Tier 2 National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) document(s);
Identification of projects with independent utility to be evaluated in Tier 2 NEPA document(s) and evaluated pursuant to other environmental laws, and;
Advancing tolling for subsequent study in Tier 2 NEPA documents.
