FHWA’s GIS in Transportation: Reports website contains an annotated listing and links to recent reports on transportation applications of GIS and remote sensing technology.  The following three FHWA-sponsored reports specifically address some of the issues and provide examples of GIS use in linking transportation planning and environmental studies:

• Key Practices for Implementing Geospatial Technologies for a Planning and Environment Linkages (PEL) Approach, Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (2008)
• Applications of Geographic Information Systems for Planning and Environment Linkages: Peer Exchange Summary, Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (2007)   
• GIS for Environmental Stewardship and Streamlining: An Overview of State DOT Practices, Volpe National Transportation Systems Center (2005)
