Case Law & Programmatic Agreements
The Center for Environmental Excellence is home to both the Programmatic Agreement Library (PAL) Database and the Case Law Updates on the Environment (CLUE) Database.
Programmatic Agreements Library (PAL)
PAL is an easy to use, central library where practitioners can find programmatic agreements, and similar documents like concurrence letters, developed to support transportation projects.
Programmatic agreements establish a streamlined process for handling routine environmental requirements for commonly encountered project types, thus typically reducing the number of steps and time required for project review and approval.
Case Law Updates on the Environment (CLUE)
CLUE provides a timely, organized, and comprehensive list of case law summaries for policy makers and practitioners.
The database primarily includes recent court decisions involving challenges to environmental reviews and permits for highway and transit projects.
