Transportation and the environment are strongly interlinked and dependent. Sustainable transport projects, such as more effi cient rural road rehabilitation and clean urban transport systems, not only provide economic development but important social benefi ts. However, transport projects can have signifi cant eff ects on the environ-ment and local communities if not addressed explicitly in the design and implementa-tion of projects and programs. Moving beyond negative impact mitigation, toward more environmentally sustainable projects and programs, off ers additional benefi ts, and project stakeholders are increasingly demanding and expecting environmental sustainability to be integrated into infrastructure projects. The World Bank Group views development in all sectors through the lens of social inclusion and environmen-tal sustainability to ensure that progress benefi ts the poor and does not come at the expense of future generations.
The World Bank Transport & ICT Global Practice provides clients with infrastruc-ture and policies to improve connectivity and competitiveness, and links people to markets and social services to stimulate economic growth, increase climate resilience, and reduce carbon footprint. These aims are achieved through, among others, fi nanc-ing infrastructure such as transport assets and corridors (rural and inter-urban roads and highways, railways, ports, waterways, aviation, logistics, and trade facilitation) and urban transport (inclusive and “clean” transport modes including public transport and walking/biking). By facilitating the movement of people, goods, and information, Transport and ICT enable economic and social development, food security, and access to jobs, health, and education services.
The World Bank Environment and Natural Resources Global Practice contributes to the Bank’s vision of a world without poverty through a strategic and operational focus on the linkages between a healthy environment, sustainable use of natural resources, and poverty alleviation. In partnership with developing countries, this Practice deliv-ers solutions to improve people’s livelihoods and well-being, keeping development options open for both today and tomorrow. The role of this Practice is to advance sustainability in development projects through practical solutions that reduce harm, mitigate risks, and uncover net positive impacts. The Practice aims to ensure projects

and programs are structurally sound across sectors and ultimately deliver more lasting and robust development outcomes.
The World Bank is committed to providing technical knowledge and support to mem-ber countries, including contributing to the global knowledge exchange on innovation in addressing environmental and transport issues and the pursuit of greener and more inclusive growth. The World Bank often has the privilege to partner with countries and key stakeholders to pioneer innovative environmental policies and initiatives. This document seeks to bring to a broader public—decision makers, development practi-tioners, academics and other partners—ideas on improving the environmental sus-tainability in road projects in low and middle income countries. We hope that this will make a contribution to knowledge sharing among a wider audience within the Latin America and Caribbean region and globally.

1Improving Environmental Sustainability in Road Projects
CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
Sustainable economic growth in low- and middle-income countries is a key to pov-erty reduction and shared prosperity, which in part is dependent on reliable and safe transportation systems. Road and highway systems provide a critical function in creat-ing and maintaining a desirable quality of life. Local businesses depend on reliable road systems for the effi cient movement and distribution of manufactured goods and services, employee transportation to and from work, and movement and availability of energy and raw materials. Local communities are dependent on transportation for accessibility to health care, education, food and clothing, farm animal movement, and personal mobility. The planning, design, construction, and operation and main-tenance of highway and road systems are vital to the functioning of communities, regions, and countries.
Many transportation planners, engineers, and environmental scientists worldwide rec-ognize that roadway systems need to be more sustainable in light of fi nite natural resources, sensitive environmental conditions, and limited economic resources. Sus-tainability is not just about the environmental considerations associated with energy conservation and alternative energy generation; it is the inseparable integration of the environmental, community and society, and economic attributes that need to be managed at the project level to be eff ective and successful (box 1.1). For example, this can include transit accessibility, transit aff ordability, benefi ts by income group, aver-age vehicle occupancy, transit productivity and safety. Thus, transportation systems need to be planned, designed, constructed, and maintained in a fashion that properly manages the potentially negative environmental and social impacts and risks while attempting to promote directly and indirectly related positive impacts or benefi ts.
Important benefi ts can be associated with a sustainable road project, including improved cost eff ectiveness, reduced material consumption, improved community quality of life, increased protection of fi nite environmental resources, improved con-sideration of a life-cycle approach, and enhanced innovation and increased knowl-edge transfer and capacity building (table 1.1). The fi nancial and economic benefi ts can result from improved pollution prevention (for example, waste minimization and reuse, among others), reduced carbon emissions (for example, selling carbon credits),

can be highly valuable. Improved environmental sustain-ability can also enhance the fi nancing of road transport projects by helping agencies to meet the environmental requirements of fi nanciers. For example, many commer-cial banks, international fi nancial institutions, institutional investors, and pension funds include social and environ-mental factors in their fi nancing decisions. And improved environmental sustainability can potentially increase access to “socially responsible” investors, which manage and invest billions of dollars in assets only in projects that are socially and environmentally sustainable.
Various types of sustainability-based programs and implementation tools have been developed and executed by road transportation agencies to help integrate sustain-ability-based philosophies, concepts, and actions at the program and project levels. These tools can take the form of a list of sustainable actions or the development of sus-tainability rating systems that rely on specifi c criteria for project team consideration and potential adoption. One specifi c approach to help promote environmentally sus-tainable transport projects has been an eff ort to develop comprehensive sustainability rating systems for transpor-tation infrastructure systems (for example, Envision, CEE-QUAL, INVEST, Green Roads, GreenLITES).
However, embedding sustainability principles and best practices into road projects in low- and middle-income countries has been a challenge for several reasons, includ-ing changing or varying degrees of commitment and lim-ited fi nancial resources. In addition, there is often a lack of understanding about sustainability concepts and how to address them, given country and project specifi c character-istics. Also, sustainability rating systems are relatively com-plex and their application is challenging given the range of road projects (type, size, location, and so on) and socio-economic and environmental conditions in developing countries. There are rapidly evolving sustainable products and technologies for road construction and maintenance, but often limited availability in these countries.
The World Bank promotes a sustainability philosophy and the vision of a “Green, Clean, and Resilient World.” This strategy recognizes that all economies, particularly developing ones, still need to grow, but need to do so sustainably, so that income-producing opportunities are
The Canadian Centre for Sustainable Transportation (CST) defi nes sustainable transport solutions as sustainable trans-portation that: 1) allows the basic access needs of individuals and societies to be met safely and in a manner consistent with human and ecosystem health, and with equity within and between generations; 2) is aff ordable, operates effi ciently, off ers choice of transport mode, and supports a vibrant econ-omy; 3) limits emissions and waste within the planet’s ability to absorb them, minimizes consumption of non-renewable resources, limits consumption of renewable resources to the sustainable yield level, reuses and recycles its components, and minimizes the use of land and the production of noise (CST, 2005).
The European Union Council of Ministers for Transport and Telecommunications defi ned sustainable transportation as one that: 1) allows the basic access and development needs of individuals, companies, and society to be met safely and in a manner consistent with human and ecosystem health and promotes equity within and between successive generations; 2) is aff ordable, operates fairly and effi ciently, off ers a choice of transport mode, and supports a competitive economy, as well as balanced regional development; and 3) limits emis-sions and waste within the planet’s ability to absorb them, uses renewable resources at or below their rates of genera-tion, and uses nonrenewable resources at or below the rates of development of renewable substitutes, while minimizing the impact on the use of land and the generation of noise (European Union Council of Ministers for Transport and Telecommunications, 2001).

payment for environmental services, better labor manage-ment (for example, improved retention and productivity), and community relations (for example, a better situation for project expansion or accidents). These benefi ts, in turn, provide results to support an entity, such as a transport agency, in developing or demonstrating the implementa-tion of its sustainability goals, policies, and programs.
The ability to demonstrate sustainability is especially important, as road project stakeholders are increasingly demanding and expecting environmental sustainability to be integrated into infrastructure projects. Although many benefi ts are quantifi able and thus often preferred by decision makers, some of the more subjective benefi ts

TABLE 1.1. REPRESENTATIVE BENEFITS OF A SUSTAINABLE ROAD TRANSPORTATION
PROJECT
Benefi t Description and Rationale
Improves cost eff ectiveness Many sustainable actions can be cost eff ective, such as use of energy effi cient lighting, alternative energy generation within right of ways, material recycling, and material and water reuse.
Promotes consistency with transport entity policy and goals
The implementation of sustainable action is consistent with the Green, Clean, and Resilient concepts to improve country development and help protect national and global resources by integrating environmental aspects into road transport policy and development planning.
Improves community quality of life
Sustainability goes beyond the economics of a project and helps balance and promote improved community values and environmental enhancement, for example, on quality of life elements such as aesthetics, public safety, and mobility.
Maintains and protects fi nite environmental resources
A sustainable road transportation project promotes recycling and reuse of materials, which reduce the use of materials and extraction impacts; promote protection and possible enhancement of sensitive fl ora and fauna species; and help protect air, water, and land resources by reducing material usage such as sand, gravel, and other road construction materials.
Recognizes infrastructure resiliency in light of climate change
Long-term transport infrastructure integrity is improved by consideration of potential climate change eff ects, such as weather extremes, in transportation design.
Reduces energy consumption and GHG emissions
Reuse of materials, such as concrete and asphalt, reduces the need for concrete and asphalt manufacturing, reduce GHG emissions, and reduces waste disposal costs and emissions.
Improves socioeconomic conditions
A sustainable road transportation project can provide an economic boost to local areas by hiring local labor and purchasing local raw materials and other goods and services.
Minimizes ecological project footprint
An environmentally sustainable project promotes the avoidance or minimization of project area impacts on natural resources, which can reduce project costs, and protects sensitive species and environments.
Promotes a life-cycle approach A more accurate total project cost early in the project cycle ensures the project is economically, environmentally, and socially sustainable, especially during the long-term operation and maintenance periods.
Promotes innovation and new project approaches
An environmentally sustainable project provides incentives to project team members to do more with fewer fi nancial resources and promotes project team research into new, cost-eff ective technologies.
Promotes positive public opinion
By promoting and demonstrating to the public and stakeholders the resolve of road project agencies and associated entities to utilize balanced, sustainability-based approaches and innovative transportation management, the project can be a positive public outreach tool to help show concern for and awareness of environmental, social, and economic factors.
Demonstrates leadership and innovation
An environmentally sustainable project helps show an entity’s leadership in addressing environmental issues by instituting sustainability elements in projects rather than developing high-level programmatic documents with limited implementation.
not pursued in ways that limit or close off opportunities for future generations. The strategy makes the following points:
» Green refers to a world in which natural resources are conserved and sustainably managed to improve livelihoods over time and in which ecosystems are healthy and increase the economic returns from the activities they support.
» Clean refers to a low-pollution, low-carbon world in which cleaner air, land, water, and oceans enable
people to lead healthy, productive lives. It is also a world in which cleaner production standards spur innovation, whether through reducing air pollu-tion, addressing legacy pollution, or recycling.
» Resilient refers to eff ective management of disaster risks, especially for the more frequent natural disas-ters and more volatile weather patterns. Resilience lessens exposure to natural disasters by anticipating shocks and adapting to climate change and climate variability.
4 Environment and Natural Resources Global Practice Discussion Paper
The World Bank also recognizes the importance of cli-mate change strategies, adaptation, and mitigation. The Bank promotes actions toward realizing the co-benefi ts of adaptation and helping to reduce the vulnerability of human or natural systems to the impacts of climate change and risks. Adaptation addresses climate variabil-ity by maintaining or increasing system adaptive capacity and resilience. An activity provides climate change mitiga-tion co-benefi ts if it reduces greenhouse gas (GHG) emis-sions into the atmosphere or enhances GHG absorption from the atmosphere.
An objective of the World Bank’s transport strategy, con-sistent with sustainable transport and aligned with the principle of country ownership, is to help partner coun-tries establish the governance, strategies, policies and services that will deliver transport for development in a way that is economically, fi nancially, environmentally, and socially sustainable. The World Bank sustainable trans-port priorities recognizes that transport can have signifi -cant eff ects on the environment that should be addressed explicitly in the design of projects and programs. Strategic action is required in the form of better directed planning of land use and stricter management of demand. The World Bank has supported various sustainable transport projects, such as more effi cient rural road rehabilitation projects and clean urban transport systems (box 1.2).
The World Bank’s Environmental and Natural Resources team in the Latin America and the Caribbean Region undertook an eff ort to assist World Bank clients and Bank project staff in better integrating environmentally sustain-able elements into road transportation projects. The main goals are to help increase the inclusion of environmentally sustainable practices in lower and middle income country road transport projects and improve local technical capac-ity and knowledge. These eff orts should assist in improv-ing the decision-making process by program and project managers by helping them to recognize the necessary balance between environmental, social, and economic resource attributes, impacts, and benefi ts when initiating and executing infrastructure projects.
The focus of this document is to provide a wide range of ideas and options to improve the inclusion of envi-ronmental sustainability throughout the road transporta-

tion project cycle (system planning, project planning and design, construction, and operation and maintenance) based on environmental sustainability indicators and highlighting environmentally sustainable products and materials for road construction. The environmental focus is presented within the broader concept of project sus-tainability and can be integrated with other sustainability actions (fi nancial, economic, social) in projects as well as other areas, such as governance and transparency. The emphasis is on sustainable actions that go beyond compli-ance with applicable in-country environmental regulatory requirements (mitigation of negative impacts, compli-ance with environmental permits, and so forth) and strive for best practices such as the reduction of consumption (energy, water, materials, and so on), no net resource impact, and social and environmental enhancement.
This document integrates various criteria for environmen-tally sustainable road transport projects. The criteria are from many technical and programmatic sources and have been compiled in a user-friendly summary table format for reference throughout the transportation project cycle.
5Improving Environmental Sustainability in Road Projects
This document aims to serve as a guide and improve technical capacity and knowledge for planners, design and construction engineers, and maintenance professionals, with ideas and options to consider for future and existing projects including those of the World Bank.
Chapter 2 describes environmentally sustainable road pro-ject criteria, which provide a range of ideas and options to improve environmental sustainability throughout the road transport project cycle. In chapter 3, information and sources for potentially relevant, environmentally
sustainable products and materials for road construction are presented. Chapter 4 explains how to use this docu-ment, with descriptions of ways to use the information in chapters 2 and 3 in low- to middle-income road projects, including generally and more specifi cally by road project phase, road transport project staff , and road project fi nan-ciers such as the World Bank. The appendixes provide a summary of transport sustainability programs (appendix A), the road transportation sustainability criteria (appen-dix B), and summary of environmentally sustainable road technologies and approaches (appendix C).

CHAPTER TWO
ENVIRONMENTALLY SUSTAINABLE ROAD CRITERIA
Environmental sustainability road criteria were identifi ed by assessing sustainability guidelines and rating systems that are used for road transportation projects and con-ducting interviews with leading Latin American transportation professionals and pro-fessional societies. (See appendix A for a summary of transport sustainability systems.) A set of criteria representing a synthesis of sustainable best management practices were selected principally from fi ve transportation and infrastructure sustainability rat-ing systems:
» Envision (Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure) » CEEQUAL (CEEQUAL Ltd., founded by the UK Institution of Civil Engineers) » INVEST (U.S. Federal Highway Administration) » Green Roads (Green Roads Foundation) » GreenLITES (New York State Department of Transportation)
The criteria were selected to promote environmentally sustainable road infrastructure and strive toward resource enhancement and restoration, and were supplemented from World Bank information. The criteria do not include measures associated with mitigation of negative impacts of road transportation construction and operations, which are included in the existing transport and infrastructure sustainability rat-ing systems. Mitigation actions to address negative project impacts are identifi ed during project environmental assessments (environmental impact assessments) and project environmental regulatory permitting. Thus, in this document, such criteria are considered as obligatory and would be part of a project’s environmental regula-tory compliance. Mitigation actions for negative impacts are normally meant to protect and maintain a resource and are usually not meant to enhance or restore the resource.

The project involved road paving of a 60 km section of Provincial Road 3 in the Northern Province of Chaco, Argen-tina. The road passes through a very vulnerable area of natural dry forest lands, identifi ed as an extremely valuable corridor in the Gran Chaco region’s biodiversity. As part of project design, this challenge was transferred into a sustainability opportunity by adopting a landscape approach to ensure that the work and environmental management measures would incorporate the functionality of the ecological corridor, supporting the conser-vation of the natural resources and helping to enhance knowl-edge and local cultural heritage. Examples of environmentally sustainable measures included awareness signs and speed reduction measures in critical habitat areas and key landscape connectivity points were established (eight underground and three canopy wildlife crossings). The work resulted in a scien-
tifi c report on the ecological community in the area, based on an expanded survey of plants and animals related to the project that went well beyond that needed for environmental impact analysis.

However, it is possible that a negative impact mitigation measure could be done in a more sustainable manner. For example, a regulation may require a storm water basin dur-ing and after construction to contain road storm water with high amounts of suspended and deposited sediment. The installation of the storm water basin is not considered a sus-tainability criteria or action. If a permanent wetland was constructed within or just downstream of the storm water
basin, it could be used to treat and fi lter the storm water. If the wetland also provided high-quality habitat for wildlife, the creation of the wetland would be considered an environ-mentally sustainable action in the context herein. Another example would be the use of more sustainable materials or approaches for erosion control and revegetation, or enhanc-ing road habitat connectivity mitigation measures or develop-ing expanded environmental baseline studies (e.g., box 2.1).
9Improving Environmental Sustainability in Road Projects
The environmentally sustainable road criteria are sepa-rated into four main road transport project phases and presented in appendix B:
» Table B.1. Sustainable Road Transportation System Plan-ning Criteria. These 41 criteria are associated with road system planning, which includes short-term and long-term planning. Long-term planning focuses on existing and future system regional and corridor planning, capacity needs, future use, traf-fi c congestion, traffi c safety, freight movement, sys-tem access, and the effi cient movement of goods and services. Short-term planning involves priori-tization of projects and development of defi ned scopes, assessment of available fi nancial resources, and potential phasing of projects based on pro-jected budgets.
» Table B.2. Sustainable Road Transportation Project Planning and Design Criteria. These 109 criteria are associated with road planning and design, including project coordination and design actions (conceptual through fi nal design, including road rehabilitation) based on transportation plans, community needs, environmental impact assess-ments, and development of contractor subcon-tracts, specifi cations, and preconstruction docu-ments. The criteria are also associated more broadly with road transport policy and strategic planning development and road program and net-work planning.
» Table B.3. Sustainable Road Transportation Construc-tion Criteria. These 94 criteria are associated with the construction of new roads or rehabilitation of existing roads. The criteria include the fi nal design elements and specifi cations of construction and the contracting and training of subcontractors on per-formance expectations.
» Table B.4. Sustainable Road Operation and Maintenance Criteria. These 88 criteria are associated with road operation and maintenance activities, including operation and maintenance actions to maintain safe, eff ective, and effi cient operations for roads and associated facilities, such as rest areas and maintenance shops.
Some of the criteria are repeated (or slightly modifi ed) in the diff erent road project phases, as the criteria are applicable across more than one phase. For example, the Sustainable Road Transportation Project Planning and Design Criteria table (table B.2) and Sustainable Road Transportation Construction Criteria table (table B.3) contain the criterion “Have components or prefabricated units been easily separated or disassembled-deconstructed into material type suitable for recycling?” Depending on the project, it is possible that either the project designer (design phase) or the prime contractor (construction phase) would be responsible for the development of this action to fulfi ll this criterion.
The criteria are presented in a tabular format for each project cycle and phase and have been grouped into cat-egories and subcategories (table 2.1). The fi ve categories and 17 subcategories are somewhat subjective, but they are relatively consistent with many of the core transpor-tation sustainability rating systems that were used. The purpose of developing categories and subcategories was to develop a user-friendly organization for the relatively large number of criteria. Some of the tables do not con-tain all the categories and subcategories in table 1 because of the nature of their particular function within the trans-portation project process. For example, the Transporta-tion System Planning table (table B.1) does not have the subcategory material recycling and reuse.

CHAPTER THREE
ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY TECHNOLOGY INFORMATION
An important element in improving the environmental sustainability of road trans-portation projects is the use of new technologies, processes, and products that directly enhance the projects’ environmental and economic sustainability through reduced consumption of energy and material. A good example is the use of recycled materi-als or more environmentally friendly cement, asphalt, or road base materials. Other examples include the use of energy conservation and generation, lighting, safety, and wintertime maintenance operations. In addition, the use of environmentally sustain-able technology can also enhance road project related activities such as vegetation clearing and slope erosion control and stabilization. While ideally these technolo-gies and process are defi ned as part of the project design, they can still be identi-fi ed and implemented during construction and operation and maintenance (e.g., see box 4.1). However, the fi eld of environmentally sustainable transportation technology and materials is rapidly changing and evolving; thus, utilizing updated information is important. Table 3.1 presents a representative list of some references to assist in iden-tifying environmentally sustainable transportation practices and technologies in road projects. The table identifi es technology and programmatic-based websites. Appendix C provides additional related information.

19Improving Environmental Sustainability in Road Projects
CHAPTER FOUR
USE OF THIS DOCUMENT
Road infrastructure projects need to better balance the demands and impacts associated with the environment, community, and local-regional economy. Implementing sustain-able actions in projects can not only produce enhanced benefi ts and possibly reduce costs, but also demonstrate leadership in addressing the conservation, protection, and enhancement of the fi nite resources on which the planet depends. This document is intended as a tool to aid road transport decision makers and technical specialists in striv-ing for more environmentally sustainable road transport projects. The goal is to assist in better integrating environmentally sustainable elements into road transportation projects and is relevant for a broad range of technical staff involved in such projects. Hopefully, this document will be used to improve local technical capacity and knowledge and assist in improving the decision-making process by program and project managers. The aim is for managers to recognize the necessary balance between environmental, social, and economic resource attributes, impacts, and benefi ts when developing and executing road infrastructure projects. This document was designed to be applicable at any road trans-port project phase or stage, but ideally should be referred to early and routinely through-out the project phases. To help facilitate the use of this document, this section off ers ideas and suggestions to improve the usefulness of the environmentally sustainable road criteria presented in chapter 2, including generally and more specifi cally by road project phase, road transport project staff , and road project fi nanciers such as the World Bank.
GENERAL GUIDANCEIt is recommended that this document be used early and then continuously during the road project planning, design, construction, and operation phases. It is never too late to implement environmentally sustainable actions, albeit the maximum benefi ts are likely obtained when actions are implemented at the early project planning and design stage. Continued use helps maximize the capacity-building eff ect. It is envisioned that the contents of this document, especially the environmental sustainability technol-ogy information presented in chapter 3, will be dynamic in nature. New sustainability-based approaches and technologies will continue to be developed and adopted. It is important to note that the actual potential for addressing environmental sustainability only as part of a project environmental assessment or environment permit regulatory process is normally severely limited due to lack of regulatory specifi city and focus (that
20 Environment and Natural Resources Global Practice Discussion Paper
is, environmental impact avoidance) and sustainability opportunities may have already been missed during the program planning and early part of project design phase.
The focus of the ideas and options to improve environ-mental sustainability throughout the road transportation project cycle is on sustainable actions that go beyond com-pliance with applicable in-country environmental regula-tory requirements and strive toward best practices, such as the reduction of consumption (of energy, water, and mate-rials), no net resource impact, and social and environmen-tal enhancement. Thus, implementation of the measures is not an indicator or surrogate for a proper project envi-ronmental impact assessment or related analysis and asso-ciated project-specifi c measures to mitigate a project’s negative environmental and social impacts and commu-nity and worker safety risks. However, the consideration of these measures will improve any project’s environmen-tal assessment and associated environmental management plan, while also providing potential project cost savings, reduced environmental impacts, and improved environ-mental and community benefi ts. The criteria focus on environmental aspects and should be considered within a broader context of other relevant project sustainability aspects, including fi nancial, economic, and social.
Not all sustainability actions add to the overall cost of a pro-ject; instead, the actions may reduce material and energy consumption or other environmentally-related project costs. Many of the sustainability criteria are cost eff ective with rela-tively good return on investments (e.g., box 4.1). In addition, many of the criteria for the construction and operation and maintenance phases are actually part of the normal activities and thus are not additional, but aff ect how the activities are done (for example, material and energy usage).
Many environmental sustainability criteria are presented. The criteria represent a comprehensive list of ideas and options. If the list were used in its entirety, it could be used to perform an assessment (or rating) of a project’s environ-mental sustainability. However, the intent of this document is not to provide an assessment tool, but to provide a list of potential ideas for consideration within a specifi c pro-ject. Thus, a key challenge is to identify which criteria to use in a specifi c project or program. Clearly the long-term goal is all road projects to implement all relevant measures to the extent technically and economically feasible thus maximizing the sustainability outcomes. However, from a practical standpoint, it is not expected that a project will adopt all the criteria; instead, the list should be used as a menu of potential sustainability ideas and options. Thus,
As part of the Mato Grosso do Sul State Road Transport Project, in one section of Road MS-436, the original design planned a set of erosion control measures that cost approxi-mately R$1,080 million (approximately US$460 million). However, during the construction phase a cost reduction of
10 percent was obtained by the project team by identifying and implementing more sustainable approaches, including the use of an enhanced natural vegetation recovery process with select revegetation techniques and construction inter-ventions that were more superfi cial.

for example, an answer of no to one of the criteria does not imply an unacceptable project. Some criteria can be implemented in varying degrees, for example, the percent-age of water use reduction during construction. For these criteria, just setting a goal and working to obtain it is good.
The selection and success of selected sustainability actions by the project team will depend on various factors:
» Project scope and size (for example, new road ver-sus rehabilitation, urban versus rural, multi-lane highway versus secondary two lane road; large scale versus small scale);
» Project model (for example, public project, public-private project, road concession) and fi nancial bud-get (for example, small, large);
» Project phase (for example, design, construction); » Environmental context of the project, including
environmental issues (for example, water or other material scarcity, impacted watersheds or airsheds) and established environmental priorities or strategies;
» Governmental established sustainability-related priorities in transport sector and more broadly, such as water, air, solid waste, and land use;
» Project stakeholder, in particular local community, preferences in terms of sustainability benefi ts (that is, interested in what type of benefi ts);
» Project material usage and associated local costs; and » Sustainable action availability (for example, tech-
nology, equipment), implementability (including rel-evant institutional capacity) and result (that is, value of benefi t given cost or level of eff ort to implement).
Ideally, the selection should be done in a collaborative manner with relevant players (decision makers, road design engineers, environmental and social specialists, construc-tion contractors, and operation and maintenance special-ists). When selecting and integrating sustainable action(s) into a project, there needs to be a reasonable balance among environmental, social, and economic elements.
In some cases, it may be appropriate for a project team to focus more on the engineering aspects of the project, such as material usage, waste reduction, and recycling and reuse. In other cases, greater focus will be on community benefi ts or environmental enhancement (e.g., box 4.2). The selected sustainable actions need to be cost eff ective or provide added
The San Lorenzo-Olanchito Road Project involved the paving of approximately 45 km of unpaved road located in the Aguan Valley which harbors the most representative remnant of very dry forest ecoregion in Honduras characterized by high ende-mism and habitat fragmentation. An enhanced habitat study was performed of all endemic species including the Honduran emerald hummingbird. Additionally, a Conservation Action Plan was developed, including strict protection of 419.9 ha of
dry thorn forest and purchase of additional private lands for strict conservation to build a network of core areas, conser-vation incentives for landholders, an ecological and compli-ance monitoring program, actions to promote ecotourism as a complementary economic activity, environmental education program, and expansion of the Pico Bonito National Park. Financial support was provided, in part, by a debt for nature swap between Honduras and Spain.

Measuring performance or success via fi eld supervision, monitoring, and documentation is an important step to demonstrate actual results and thus needs to be planned and implemented. Some criteria can be assigned quantitative performance metrics. Such monitoring can be established as part of the construction or operation and maintenance environmental management plan. Monitoring helps to establish continuing quality improvement and measure the success of a specifi ed action and its relevance for future pro-jects. However, the value of monitoring data needs to be weighed against the cost of data collection and verifi cation by the project owner or its contracted project supervisor.
Linking and, more important, properly communicating the benefi ts from implementing an environmentally sustain-able action (criteria) require focused attention and eff orts. Benefi ts expressed in monetary units (economic or fi nan-cial) create strong evidence and incentives for sustainability. However, there may be a lack of adequate data to monetize the benefi ts, the presence of shadow costs and cost dispari-ties, or technically diffi cult to monetize a specifi c benefi t. Benefi ts from more sustainable projects must be considered and measured given the local socio-economic, political and environmental context in the particular country. Addition-ally, it important to understand that diff erent stakeholders (for example, governmental road agency, municipal author-ities, local citizens using the road and living near the road) will likely have diff ering perceptions on the importance or value of the benefi ts. The eff ects of some sustainability crite-ria may have longer returns on investments or the return on investment or cost eff ectiveness may not be easily calculated or estimated. Thus, although the quantifi cation of benefi ts provides much stronger results and evidence for additional actions, even reporting subjective benefi ts is valuable.
It is important that the project manager and project team have strong support and commitment from the relevant senior management to explore new sustainability avenues and actions, as identifi ed in this guide.
UTILIZATION IN THE ROAD TRANSPORT PROJECT PHASEThis document can serve as a reference tool for identify-ing potentially relevant, environmentally sustainable prac-tices in the main road transport project phases.
value to the project. Identifying and implementing sustain-able actions can have a direct cost-saving eff ect to the pro-ject, such as using LED or lunar resonant street lighting, as opposed to normal metal halide and high-pressure sodium lighting. However, the cost benefi t of not only avoiding a resource impact but actually enhancing a resource needs to be considered by the project team. Thus, while ideally addressing all the environmentally sustainable criteria may be a goal, for projects in low- and middle-income countries, even the implementation of any action that provides signifi -cant results can be deemed a success to some degree and a step in the right direction.
Environmental sustainability criteria can be included as part of a road project bid process and contractual requirement. For example, it could be required that the environmental sustainability criteria be specifi cally considered as part of the project design contract. Alternatively, specifi c criteria (actions) could be included in the road construction contract or operation and maintenance contract. The bid and con-tract could request the preparation of project sustainability management plan that established how a contractor will implement sustainability measures, including equipment and technologies, and measure and report on actual imple-mentation. These contractual requirements can be specifi c to the type of sustainable actions expected throughout the project process or based on the achievement of a particu-lar level or result. Sustainability actions can be expressed as “best eff orts” clauses and thus there would be no pen-alty should the contractor fail to fulfi ll them. For example, include as part of the design analysis consideration of envi-ronmental sustainability measures or as a requirement to report on environmental sustainability during construction but with no required levels to be met. Alternatively, sustain-ability actions could be expressed as clauses with specifi ed remedies should the contractor fail to fulfi ll them or with incentive clauses with specifi c economic or other rewards provided if the contractor fulfi lls the requirements. However, consideration of the necessary monitoring and verifi cation is needed, depending on the selected clause. For example, for the action of providing an economic incentive, a required level of environmental sustainability, such as material uti-lization or waste generation, could be established. The bid selection method should allow for consideration of improv-ing environmental sustainability, by addressing issues that can arise from selection based on lowest cost.
23Improving Environmental Sustainability in Road Projects
Common to all project phases is that the consideration of sustainability-based actions should be done in a collabora-tive manner with a team composed of the project manager, design or planning team members, environmental and social specialists, construction engineers, and maintenance representatives. It is also encouraged that major stakehold-ers be identifi ed to participate in the sustainability action selection process. Selected sustainability actions that are incorporated into a project design should continually be referenced throughout the project process. The sustain-ability concept should be initiated early in all stages of the project cycle and ideally should be an integral part of the road infrastructure project management.
TRANSPORTATION SYSTEM PLANNINGLong-term transportation planning takes into account local and regional transportation needs for the future. For example, transportation planning may look forward 20 to 30 years to estimate vehicle miles traveled, projected con-gestion areas, potential safety-problem areas, and business access to facilitate economic growth. Transportation plan-ning representatives coordinate with local and regional
The Tocantins Integrated Sustainable Regional Develop-ment Project included various rural road improvement sub-projects. The project promoted improved sustainability at a programmatic level by incorporating, as part of the proj-ect planning and design stage, capacity building in areas of biodiversity protection, sustainable land use management, strengthening of environmental monitoring, and sustainable hydrologic resources management. The project also sup-
ported the establishment of an improved state envi-ronment policy and regulatory framework. The results included development of practices such as ecological cor-ridors; integrated management strategies for water, par-ticularly in semi-desert areas; preparation of watershed master plans and orientations for basin committees; stud-ies on land cover and fauna and flora; and studies on 16 new protected areas.

24 Environment and Natural Resources Global Practice Discussion Paper
TRANSPORTATION PROJECT PLANNING AND DESIGN The Transportation Project Planning and Design Phase includes various aspects, such as alternative analysis, concept design, feasibility analysis, environmental assess-ments, and public and stakeholder participation. The design stage is a critical step in the road transportation cycle to integrate sustainability-based actions into the project, including as design specifi cations and contract requirements for the construction of the project.
Representative examples of how the planning and design criteria (table B.2) could be used include as a:
» List of sustainability criteria that the project team should consider at the initial scoping stage and to assist in establishing design criteria and potential mitigation strategies;
» Reference tool to support the development of project-specifi c environmentally sustainable road elements;
» Periodic reference guide for the entire project team throughout the design process (checked at a mini-mum at the 30, 60, and 100 percent design phases) to track selected sustainability actions;
» List of possible sustainability actions to be con-sidered as part of the project’s alternative design analysis process;
» Public outreach and education document for the project for public participation and outreach to help demonstrate the environmental sustainability of a proposed project;
» Project evaluation tool (checklist) that can be used to assess the environmental enhancement actions that are incorporated into the project’s design and specifi cations;
» Validation tool to assist in a project life-cycle cost assessment to ensure that relevant cost and cost savings associated with environmental aspects are properly considered; and
» Tool to assess the incorporation and consistency of sustainability with the road transport agency or road project fi nancier’s sustainability policies.
TRANSPORTATION CONSTRUCTIONConstruction contractors can be directed by the project owner to incorporate sustainability actions into road con-
struction. Design specifi cations, bid requests, and contract language are important elements and provide opportuni-ties to defi ne such actions. In many cases, construction contractors are selected based on low bids and may have little idea about environmentally sustainable actions and specifi cally the cost-saving opportunities that the actions may present. Table B.3 provides the project owner, design team, and contractor with a list of criteria that can be reviewed and agreed on by all parties before construc-tion is started. However, even if the criteria are not speci-fi ed in the construction contract, it may be viable for the construction contractor to implement environmentally sustainable actions, while meeting the bid and contract specifi cations, and thus provide potential cost savings and improved environmental benefi ts. During construction, ongoing dialogue with relevant actors, including local stakeholders, can help identify these opportunities. Addi-tional representative examples of how the criteria (for example, table B.3) could be used include:
» As a menu of potential actions that can eliminate or reduce construction impacts, reduce costs, or improve environmental benefi ts;
» For identifi cation of new sustainability construc-tion options for project design and construction contractors that can be cost eff ective, such as mate-rial selection, reuse, and recycling;
» As a checklist to assess how environmentally sus-tainable elements were implemented during con-struction, including potential opportunities for consideration during construction; and
» For potential consideration in purchasing materials and hiring employees locally.
SUSTAINABLE ROAD TRANSPORTATION OPERATION AND MAINTENANCERoad operation and maintenance are essential, ongoing, long-term actions. Highway operations and maintenance is often underfunded. And cost-eff ective operations and actions are important to maintain safety, mobility, and movement of goods and services. Representative examples of how the guidance criteria (table B.4) could be used include as a:
» Reference guide to identify potential environmen-tally sustainable actions for road maintenance and operations;
» List of options to reduce fi nite resource consump-tion, thus saving fi nancial resources;

tors, road planning and design engineers, consultants, and others). The document can also be used to help address the mandates, goals, and strategic objectives of fi nancial institutions, related to their fi nancial and technical sup-port activities. For the principal stages of interaction between a fi nancial institution and its clients, table 4.2 presents some representative examples of how the guide can be utilized in investment project fi nancing. As dis-cussed earlier in this chapter, the degree of criteria use in a given project should depend on the project’s character-istics and does not imply a signifi cant additional burden, but an opportunity for signifi cant additional benefi ts. The document can also help lead to more “bankable” projects, for example by helping to improve and demonstrate pro-ject environmental sustainability and client commitment to environmental sustainability. This demonstration can indirectly support the adequate management of project-related negative environmental and social impacts and risks, thus helping the project to meet the environmental and social safeguard policies of project fi nanciers.
For project fi nancing based upon outputs or results, such as the World Bank Program for Results fi nancing, the doc-ument could be used to identify specifi c criteria or indica-tors to measure road project environmental sustainability and thus provide partial fi nancial support to improving the sustainability in a countries road program. For fi nanc-ing linked to policy, such as the World Bank Develop-ment Policy Financing, the document could be an input to establish links to disbursements related to modifi cation of existing laws or regulations to specifi cally promote increased environmental sustainability in road projects, establishment of a sustainability program and measures within a country’s road program, or development of a sustainability rating system to be used in road projects.

UTILIZATION BY ROAD TRANSPORT PROJECT STAFFThis document can be used by many types of road trans-portation professionals. For example, it can be used as a tool by regional or corridor-scale transportation system planners or as a reference for design engineers since it pro-vides a list of environmentally sustainable options that can be employed during project scoping, analysis of alterna-tives, and throughout the design process. The document can provide a road construction contractor with a wide range of cost-eff ective sustainability actions for resource consumption, such as material selection, recycling or reuse, and waste minimization. For maintenance professionals, the document describes environmentally sustainable ways to conduct long-term maintenance operations. Table 4.1 summarizes the potentially relevant environmentally sus-tainable road criteria for road transport personnel.

APPENDIX ASUMMARY OF TRANSPORT SUSTAINABILITY PROGRAMS
Over the past 14 years, there has been an eff ort by some organiza-tions to develop large, comprehensive sustainability rating systems for transportation infrastructure systems that are similar to the LEED sustainability rating system for buildings. Instead of adopt-ing the large rating system programs, some state departments of transportation (DOTs) and municipal transportation departments have embraced the sustainability rating system concept by develop-ing programs with their own unique criteria, indicators, and perfor-mance measures that encompass transportation planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance activities. DOT-specifi c rating systems have an advantage over larger template-type programs in that the sustainable criteria refl ect the actual state’s environmental conditions and community context. Specifi c rating systems can be developed based on the DOT management style, executive orders, philosophy, fi nancial resources, and sustainability program needs.
According to the Compendium of Sustainable Development Indicator Initiatives, there are more than 140 sustainability-based transportation initiatives that encompass performance indicator programs, methodologies, guidance documentation, and sus-tainability development programs. The number of worldwide sustainability-based initiatives continues to grow for all infra-structure-type projects, and there are reportedly more than 900 initiatives.
One of the fi rst transportation-specifi c sustainability rating systems was developed and implemented by the New York State Department of Transportation, which developed the GreenLITES (Recognized Leadership in Transportation and Environmental Sustainability) program. The nationally recognized GreenLITES program initially developed an extensive list of criteria specifi cally for transportation design activities. Since the creation of Green-LITES, other sustainability rating systems have been developed that address all or portions of the transportation process (planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance). The fol-lowing is a list of some of the more notable infrastructure-trans-portation rating systems, the date of their development, and the corresponding transportation phase:
» LEED (1998), design » CEEQUAL (2003), design and construction » GreenLITES (2008), design, planning (draft), and opera-
tion and maintenance » Sustainable SITES (2009), design and construction » STARS (2010), planning » Green Roads (2010), design and construction » ILAST (2010), design » BE2ST(2010), design and construction
» INVEST (2011–2012), planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance
» ENVISION (2012), design » Greenway (2012), construction » VicRoads-INVEST (2012), design and construction
These sustainability rating systems have some similarities in that they use criteria that are weighted, meaning that criteria are given a priority ranking based on their importance by numeric points. The more important the criteria are to the organization, the more points are designated to the criteria. The rating systems calculate the totals in a spreadsheet format and the total scores are compared with certifi cation threshold values. Certifi cation levels are given based on achieving scores beyond predetermined thresholds (silver, gold, platinum, and so on). Most rating systems use a yes/no format when addressing a criterion in a question format.
The criteria categories—such as site selection, community, energy, atmosphere, water, natural environment, and materials—are similar across the rating systems. The sustainability criteria in these rating systems are a mixture of activities related to system enhancement, restoration, protection, mitigation, and regulatory compliance. The simplistic rating system formats are popular because of their ease of use and understanding.
The transportation rating systems diff er according to internal application and management involvement. Project managers are directed and required by the New York State DOT Chief Engineer to go through the GreenLITES processes before a project can be allowed to go to bid. The other rating systems are voluntary and are intended to be reference tools for engineers, contractors, and main-tenance professionals. The ENVISION checklist is unique, since it is based on levels of achievement of a sustainability-based objec-tive (question)—the higher the level of achievement toward resto-ration and enhancement levels, the higher the numeric scores. As a program prerequisite, Greenroads requires the development of a life-cycle cost and inventory analysis in addition to nine resource-specifi c management plans (waste management, noise manage-ment, emission controls, and so on) to be submitted and approved before starting the certifi cation process. CEEQUAL makes exten-sive use of quantitative performance indicators to acquire numeric points.
Sustainability rating systems have been found to be an added value tool to transportation agencies at the program and project levels. These rating systems are a mechanism for implementing a sustainability vision and philosophy directly into projects. Trans-portation agencies and departments have found that the develop-ment and implementation of sustainability-based criteria form the
34 Environment and Natural Resources Global Practice Discussion Paper
basis of important decision-making tools for engineers and project managers toward integrating their sustainability program within and outside their organizations.
Some DOTs and organizations recognize that rating systems provide a mechanism to develop new program and management
approaches that are cost eff ective based on the worldwide dynamic changes and challenges facing infrastructure projects and systems. Rating systems can also be used as an eff ective public relations tool during public meetings and as a management tool that contains metrics to measure project or program success.
