What is a PD&E study?
A PD&E Study is the formal process that FDOT uses to ensure that consideration is given to engineering design, project costs, environmental and social impacts and public input in the development of major transportation projects.

The basic steps of a PD&E Study include data collection, development and analysis of the alternatives, development of project documents and final approval. Public involvement is a very important part of the PD&E process and there will be several formal opportunities during this study for the public to provide input on the project.
