The Division of Environmental Analysis (DEA) is responsible for providing environmental guidance to Transportation Cabinet Employees, to contractors, and to the general public concerning Cabinet projects and activities. The DEA facilitates the Cabinet's mission of performing in an environmentally sound manner by ensuring that planning, design, construction, operation, and maintenance projects and activities that have potential to impact the social, economic, or physical environment are identified and evaluated and their impacts minimized upon informed decisions and sound environmental policies.

The Division performs these responsibilities through the review, preparation, and procurement of environmental documents, contracts, or actions as made necessary by state and federal environmental laws and regulations. The Division also provides a single point of contact to the general public and to Cabinet Employees for environmental guidance, information, and concerns
