Multi-criteria analyses constitute an effective tool supporting the decision-making process under conditions of complexity and multidimensionality of problems related to the implementation of road investments. The lack of uniform guidelines concerning their application results in considerable flexibility in the selection of criteria, sub-criteria, and the weights of their influence. The article focuses on the analysis of environmental criteria used in exemplary project documentation concerning the construction of bypasses and expressways in Poland. As a result of the conducted assessment, it was found that the most frequently occurring criteria concern the continuity and fragmentation of the natural environment, in particular Natura 2000 areas.

Analizy wielokryterialne stanowią efektywne narzędzie wspomagające proces decyzyjny w warunkach złożoności i wielowymiarowości problemów związanych z realizacją inwestycji drogowych. Brak jednolitych wytycznych dotyczących ich stosowania wpływa na dużą elastyczność w doborze kryteriów, podkryteriów oraz wag ich oddziaływania. W artykule skoncentrowano się na analizie kryteriów środowiskowych wykorzystywanych w przykładowych dokumentacjach projektowych, dotyczących budowy obwodnic i dróg ekspresowych na terenie Polski. W wyniku przeprowadzonej oceny stwierdzono, że najczęściej występujące kryteria dotyczą ciągłości i fragmentacji środowiska przyrodniczego, w szczególności obszarów Natura 2000.
