What is a Transect Report?
Data + Regulations + Permits + Recommendations = Awesome
A Transect Report is an automated environmental report that is often referred to as a 'desktop report' or 'environmental constraints report.’. A Transect Report provides critical information to assess a site in just minutes and empowers confident, data-driven siting decisions.
A Transect Report’s findings are broken down into an Executive Summary that highlight the following:
- Report Map: showcases your designated Area of Interest (AOI). This visualizes any potential concerns within the project boundaries and buffer.

- Parcel Details & Pulse: provides a summarization of features associated with the AOI, including acreage, Pulse* information, ownership, and the nearest transmission infrastructure.

- Concern Assessment: quickly identifies potential project hurdles, including species, waters, protected areas, and environmental compliance.

- Permit Matrix: indicates the federal, state, and local (where available) permits and regulations associated with the project boundary while highlighting the expected timeline.

- …and even more: Transect includes hundreds of datasets and layers that visualize environmental features, zoning, infrastructure, and much more.
