| Description | The PEL Study is a collaborative approach to transportation decision-making that considers environmental, community, and economic goals early in the transportation planning process and streamlines the process for delivering transportation solutions. The I-10 East PEL Study will identify transportation issues along the corridor and provide an opportunity for identifying and prioritizing potential solutions for those issues. |
