Transforming Environmental Review with the Digital NEPA Toolkit

This presentation introduces planners to a transformative approach to environmental review through the Digital NEPA Toolkit. See how traditional environmental documents are being reimagined into interactive, web-based platforms that expand public accessibility, streamline feedback, and improve data transparency.

Explore practical applications, including integration with ArcGIS Online for real-time geospatial metrics, dynamic visualizations that replace static maps and tables, and a comment system that links public input directly to report sections. These innovations create more intuitive navigation, inclusive engagement, and efficient collaboration among planning, environmental, and design teams.

Presenters demonstrate how planners can synchronize design and environmental data, enabling secure, immersive reviews and proactive identification of project changes. Gain actionable insights into scalable digital solutions that support third-party review, community input, and transparent decision-making.

Leave the presentation equipped to:

• Enhance public engagement and accessibility in review processes;

• Apply dynamic visualization tools to strengthen stakeholder understanding;

• Streamline interagency collaboration and feedback integration; and
