Abstract: Modernization and construction of new transport infrastructure is a key element of economic and social development, on which depends the sustainability of economic growth in the regional and local scale. The development of transport infrastructure, however, has the negative effects. The continuous increase in the volume of transport services and the increasing volume of traffic leads to more and more serious environmental threats. A tool that allows for rather complete and objective identification of possible risks is the environmental impact assessment (EIA). Article closers the issue of the EIA procedure in the context of legal and methodological considerations. Its main aim is to prove, that the use of computer simulation to generate information for the EIA can greatly facilitate and enrich the existing methodology.
