OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to provide
practical examples of how transportation agencies created and
are using EMS to address their operational issues and goals in
the context of an ISO-compliant system.
This research provides valuable information to help state DOTs
already implementing or considering an EMS to identify tools
and tips to streamline maintenance, construction, and/or
operational processes.

General Framework & History at DOTs
14
• EMS is a standard business practice.
• DOT operational units have their own processes.
• EMS is essential to regulatory compliance.
• Only selected elements of the ISO 14001 EMS are employed by DOTs.
• Regulatory pressure was a consideration in EMS development.
• EMS is cost effective, and funding is not an issue.

Current EMS DOT Applications
15
• Equipment Maintenance
• Highway Maintenance Facilities
• Highway Maintenance Activities
• Bridge Maintenance
• NEPA compliance
![Page 16: Environmental Management System Perspectives for State …...OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to provide practical examples of how transportation agencies created and are](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fcce344a39a556e6847af09/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
EMS Monitoring – PDCA Analysis Methods
16
• Incident driven rather than systematic periodic
monitoring
• Manual review of EMS data rather than
database review
• “Check” and “act” aspects of the cycle are
limited.
![Page 17: Environmental Management System Perspectives for State …...OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to provide practical examples of how transportation agencies created and are](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fcce344a39a556e6847af09/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
EMS Improvement – Lessons Learned
17
• Ownership fosters follow through in applying
EMS.
• Integration with other processes improves
efficiency.
• Staff engagement stimulates feedback.
• Training improves performance.
![Page 18: Environmental Management System Perspectives for State …...OBJECTIVE: The objective of this research is to provide practical examples of how transportation agencies created and are](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062507/5fcce344a39a556e6847af09/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Additional Benefits – Spinoff Applications
18
• Environmental streamlining is a common EMS
benefit.
o Standardized interactions with regulatory agencies (e.g.,
MOU, MOA, PA)
o Building relationships with regulatory agencies
• Spinoff applications include using EMS for
vegetation and endangered species management.
• Use of the PDCA approach in EMS may
encourage its use in other areas.

• Comprehensive PDCA EMS processes is lacking. o Identification and awareness of these gaps should
be encouraged
• No method for systematic EMS assessment exists.o A method for conducting these assessments should
be provided.
• DOT Environmental Units may not have full Agency wide involvement. o Increased awareness should be facilitated.

For use by DOT Environmental Staff, Design Mangers, Maintenance Engineers, Operation Managers, and Executive Staff to understand and access reference material on:
1. What an EMS is
2. How to successfully initiate / expand / benchmark an EMS
3. How to improve EMS effectiveness using peer resources, and
4. How to quickly access EMS literature and survey data.
