The Sustainable Highways Self-Evaluation Tool identifies characteristics of sustainable highways and provides procedures and techniques to help agencies and organizations apply and integrate sustainability best practices into highway and other roadway projects and programs within system planning, project development, and operations and maintenance. While the words "highway" and "roadway" are both used in this tool, the FHWA Sustainable Highways Self-Evaluations Tool is designed to be applied to all roadway projects, not just highways.
