Abstract:

State departments of transportation (DOTs) are increasingly being challenged to accommodate a variety of modes and services within existing right of ways. DOTs may be asked to dedicate (in whole or part) existing lanes or right of way to transit, high occupancy vehicles, bikes, freight or enhanced pedestrian access. The decisions to accommodate the additional modes and services requires a variety of site and community specific trade-offs, design and construction considerations and operational needs that have to be addressed for such accommodation to be accomplished successfully. This scan evaluates the design, operational and policy/procedural decisions that State DOTs have been faced with in response to a proposal from an external agency or entity to accommodate additional modes and services within existing right of ways. A particular interest is on the dedication of existing lanes to transit as part of a Federal Transit Administration (FTA), Capital Investment Grant (CIG) project especially in urban settings. The scan team examines technical issues associated with design, construction and operations/maintenance, but also strongly focuses on organizational, policy, procedural and “relationship” issues.
