The Community Context Audit form is intended to be a guide to identify various community characteristics that make each transportation project location unique to its residents, its businesses and the public in general. This information will help to define the purpose and need of the proposed transportation improvements based upon community goals and local plans for future development.

Community Context Audit Process
The Community Context Audit Process is part of the overall Community Impact Assessment (CIA) that is conducted in conjunction with PENNDOT’s environmental review process as an integral part of the project development process.  The Community Context Audit process incorporates views of various stakeholders within the community along with PENNDOT from a multi-disciplinary approach.  The community context audit should be performed early in the process as part of the project identification in order to provide necessary documentation to support development of a project purpose and needs statement and adequate funding allocation and identification.
