There you will find more information on the MARC Eco-Logical project including dates for upcoming workshops and archives of meeting materials.
Background
In early 2008, MARC was awarded funding from the Federal Highway Administration's Eco-Logical grant program, which supports making infrastructure more sensitive to wildlife and ecosystems through greater interagency cooperation and conservation.

This work to shape a strategy for better integrating environmental and transportation planning will impact the next update of the long-rangeLong-Range transportationTransportation plan,Plan, Transportation Outlook 2040, and create a more sustainable regional transportation system.
