AECOM (NYSE:ACM), the world’s trusted infrastructure consulting
firm, today announced that it has successfully deployed its
PlanEngageTM platform for a proposed interstate highway, marking
the first use of this technology on a transportation project in the
U.S. A Digital AECOM product, PlanEngage is an interactive online
platform that enhances communication and engagement by presenting
highly technical information in an easily accessible and
simple-to-use format.
AECOM utilized its digital software solution to create an
interactive Final Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for
the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Arizona Department of
Transportation’s (ADOT) Interstate 11 Corridor project. After five
years of study, technical analysis, and input from communities and
stakeholders, the publication of the Final Tier 1 EIS is an
important milestone for the proposed corridor. As part of the
interactive format, project components are illustrated graphically,
allowing readers to zoom in and out of maps and click through
layers of information.
“We’re extremely proud to have deployed this groundbreaking
platform for the I-11 EIS, a vital step in realizing the
high-capacity transportation corridor that would diversify,
support, and connect important metropolitan areas and improve
travel efficiency,” said Jennifer Aument, chief executive of
AECOM’s global Transportation business. “While approval documents,
such as an EIS, are traditionally limited to hard copy or pdf
formats that can be complex, large, and not easily navigable, our
PlanEngage platform allows anyone to intuitively locate relevant
information.”
PlanEngage is designed to streamline the typical paper-based
planning process by enabling teams to create, edit, and publish
project information into a single interactive platform. This
includes photos, visualizations, sound demonstrations, videos,
project dashboards, models, and narrative. In addition, PlanEngage
has built-in feedback capture and reporting, which supports
communication consistency, enhanced collaboration, regulatory
compliance, improved accessibility, and social license.
"The interactive EIS was a first for ADOT and the State of
Arizona, and it was a huge accomplishment for the I-11 study team,”
said Steven Olmsted, ADOT Program Delivery Manager. “It allowed
ADOT and FHWA to explore an alternative method for virtual public
involvement, while providing tools such as shapefiles and map
layers to help the public and agencies fully understand the Final
Tier 1 Environmental Impact Statement document. The success of the
interactive EIS and the number of views that it has received has
clearly demonstrated its value to ADOT and the necessity to
implement this kind of interactive tool for other studies."
Using PlanEngage, AECOM completed the first-ever National
Environmental Policy Act-compliant digital EIS in the U.S. on a
project with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and U.S. Department
of the Treasury. Originally born from the need to improve the
traditional environmental impact approval process, PlanEngage has
now expanded for use throughout the entire project lifecycle across
a wide range of project types.
“PlanEngage offers greater accessibility and transparency for
project stakeholders to engage with the planning process,” said
Todd Battley, AECOM’s chief strategy officer. “This provides
widespread opportunities for stakeholders to understand the
project, its impacts, and its potential before it goes ahead, but
also throughout its lifecycle, facilitating deeper engagement.
We’re proud to continue to lead the industry through this
unprecedented period of digital transformation, helping our clients
reach a broader audience on complex projects.”
