State and local Departments of Transportation (DOTs) routinely encounter the need for cultural resource services. Cultural resources are a vital component of feasibility and alternative location studies, as well as a critical element in the completion of Environmental Impact Statement documentation for construction corridors. New South Associates has worked closely with a number of state and county transportation programs to provide innovative, responsive, and timely recommendations on the role of archaeological and historic sites in transportation planning. Our objectives are to clearly and concisely identify cultural resource concerns at an early stage in the planning process, to help evaluate the potential impacts of transportation projects on these resources, to help evaluate these impacts within the matrix of other social and environmental issues, and to mitigate adverse effects where they occur in a timely and cost effective manner, avoiding construction delays.

 

As a measure of our success in providing quality consulting of real benefit to transportation engineers, New South Associates has been awarded more than 70 transportation cultural resource projects as well as indefinite delivery contracts for cultural resource transportation studies. We have worked extensively with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the North Carolina Department of Transportation, and the Georgia Department of Transportation, as well as the DOTs of Tennessee, Alabama, and the US Virgin Islands. When the Federal Highway Department required a consultant for a road survey in Georgia, they hired New South Associates. And we recognize that transportation does not just take place on the highway. We have provided cultural resource studies for airport expansions and rapid rail lines too.
