Description of Figure

The figure is titled Project Process and shows a cartoon sketch depicting the process used in the WEDCOR project. The top of the figure shows a sack titled "Brainstorming" that is pouring sand through three sieves. The first sieve is named "Travel Demand Modeling," the second sieve is named "Sketch Planning Tool," and the third sieve is named "Analytical Tools." A pan named "NEPA," which collects the remaining sand, is at the bottom. The left side of the figure has arrows pointing to the sand falling between the sieves. The first arrow (between "Brainstorming" and "Travel Demand Modeling") is labeled "Initial Concepts," the second (between "Travel Demand Modeling" and "Sketch Planning Tool") is labeled "Most Promising Alternatives," the third (between "Sketch Planning Tool" and "Analytical Tools") is labeled "Three Viable Alternatives," and the final arrow (between "Analytical Tools" and "NEPA Process") is labeled "Department's Proposed Actions." The right side of the figure shows a long arrow titled "Increasing Detail of Evaluation" pointing down the page. The top right corner of the figure features a cartoon sketch of five individuals with "TSM," "Access Management," "Traffic Signal Systems," "Geometric Improvements," and "New Road Alignment" in thought bubbles over their heads.
