GLOSSARY <br />0 <br />Active transportation network: Infrastructure <br />and facilities that support human -powered <br />modes of transportation, such as walking and <br />bicycling. <br />Alignment: The path or route followed by a <br />transportation facility, such as a roadway. <br />Alternative(s): Possible solutions to <br />accomplish a defined purpose and need that <br />are considered as part of a decision -making <br />process. These can include local and state <br />transportation system mode and design <br />options, as well as travel demand management <br />and transportation system management -type <br />improvements such as ramp metering, mass <br />transit, and high occupancy vehicle (HOV) <br />facilities. <br />C <br />Closed-circuit television (CCTV) monitoring: A <br />closed system of traffic surveillance cameras <br />designed for highway and road monitoring, <br />allowing for remote management and data <br />gathering. <br />Commercial truck parking facilities: Designated <br />areas or facilities where commercial trucks can <br />safely park or stop for rest periods, reducing <br />the need for trucks to park on highway <br />shoulders or in nearby communities. <br />Commercial vehicle systems: Technologies and <br />tools designed for use by commercial vehicles, <br />including navigation systems, tracking devices, <br />and safety features. <br />Connectivity: The degree to which the various <br />roadways and other transportation facilities <br />within a network are linked and integrated, <br />facilitating smooth and efficient travel. <br />Corridor: A defined path or route for <br />transportation, typically referring to a major <br />road or highway like the 1-90 corridor. <br />Crash assessment: Evaluation of the <br />history and patterns of vehicle collisions <br />within a specific area to identify trends and <br />deficiencies. <br />A <br />Ecosystem resiliency: The ability of ecosystems <br />to withstand and recover from disturbances, <br />such as floods or climate change impacts. <br />Evaluations focus on maintaining ecosystem <br />functions and adapting to changing conditions. <br />Environmental justice (E)): The fair treatment <br />and meaningful involvement of all people <br />regardless of race, color, national origin or <br />income with respect to the development, <br />implementation, and enforcement of <br />environmental laws, regulations and policies. <br />This includes using an intersectional lens to <br />address disproportionate environmental and <br />health impacts by prioritizing highly impacted <br />populations, equitably distributing resources <br />and benefits, and eliminating harm. <br />Environmental review: The consideration of <br />environmental factors as required by NEPA and <br />SEPA. The environmental review process is the <br />procedure used by agencies and others to give <br />appropriate consideration to the environment <br />in decision making. <br />VOLUME I: FEASIBILITY REPORT 1-90 Corridor - Easton to Cle Elunn Feasibility Study I x <br />
