Interregional Planning & Environmental Linkage (PEL) Study
The Permian Basin MPO is planning for a potential interregional corridor to provide freight and vehicular connectivity in and around the urbanized Midland-Odessa area. This corridor would not only serve to expand energy and freight production/distribution, but also to enhance mobility and safety of existing urbanized corridors. This PEL will identify, evaluate and screen potential corridors for future environmental evaluation.
​
The purpose of a PEL is to consider future transportation improvements in a holistic way. A PEL:
-
Focuses on engagement with community members and other stakeholders.
-
Explores potential solutions based on impacts to the environment, the community, and the economy.
-
Addresses long-term economic benefits, regional mobility, and safety.
-
Considers environmental stewardship in the context of identified needs.
