EPA recently awarded the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT) and SLR a 2020 New England Environmental Merit Award. MassDOT and SLR were commended for their exemplary work developing the Rivers & Roads Training program that focuses on providing a more resilient transportation system while protecting rivers and the environment. Training participants learn how to prevent future damages through innovative design practices around rivers and roads. Classroom and field trainings, which have been attended by over 300 participants, have been provided across the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

The video features our project at the 20:39 marker. SLR Team for the MassDOT project included Roy Schiff and Jessica Louisos (Vermont Office).
