FHWA's Office of Planning, Environment and Realty has undertaken several activities in past years that are pertinent to establishing STEP. These activities include research needs assessments, conferences, sponsorship of multi-jurisdictional groups and panels focused on creating new research agendas for transportation planning, realty and environmental research. The findings from the Strategic Workplan for Air Toxics Research was one of many research activities that were incorporated into the establishment of STEP. Additional information on STEP can be found at http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/hep/step/index.cfm.
