Planning Factors for All Projects Proposed New/Amended Factor Factor Measure Points Environmental SRPP: Justice Based on answers…………. …up to 5 points /SRPP Environmental Justice: Overall net benefits (good to excellent)…4-5 Overall net benefits (fair to good)……… 2-3 Overall net benefits (none to fair)…… ….0-1 Added a Strategic Regional Planning factor and incorporated it into the Environmental Justice Factor. SRPP will examine such items as whether a project serves brownfields or greyfields, will impact greenhouse gases, help address environmental nuisances such as noise, dust and odor and examine if the project area abuts a sensitive environmental resource. The Environmental Justice factor was revised to look at the overall net benefits of a project—both the negative impacts and positive impacts of the project. This was a concern raised by FHWA during the Federal Certification Review.
