The Missouri Department of Transportation anticipates incorporating recommendations made as part of the PEL study into future NEPA studies, per Title 23 of the US Code, Part 168.
The central corridor between Kingshighway and Jefferson is vibrant and changing. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) wants to ensure bridges and interchanges are safe, maintained, and updated for all users. The first step in this process is a planning and environmental linkages (PEL) study to analyze long term goals for improvements to the corridor.
The Purpose and Need is critical. A PEL develops a vision and options for cooperative transportation investment across regional government agencies. Understanding the P&N of a planning study and being able to successfully incorporate such needs and goals into a future environmental study will allow projects that result from the planning study to move forward more quickly.
