WisDOT avoids or minimizes the impacts of transportation projects to the natural and human environment while delivering projects efficiently. Balancing the department's environmental responsibilities with transportation program needs requires regulatory process expertise and a thorough understanding of state and federal environmental requirements. Environmental professionals in each transportation region and in the central office work to achieve this balance.
