About PermitAI

Clearing the path for critical infrastructure

For over 50 years, the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) has required agencies to conduct environmental reviews and document the potential impacts of proposed actions. However, these important documents must be collected from a range of sources, making the process time-consuming and costly.

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) is building a one-stop data platform and a powerful suite of artificial intelligence (AI) tools to streamline and accelerate the review process for critical federal infrastructure.
