Abstract:

This scan was initiated to identify some of the best practices that states and MPOs are using to comply with current fiscal constraint law and regulation. The scan team identified the following states to visit and thoroughly review their approach to achieving fiscal constraint and Year of Expenditure (YOE) compliance: New York (NYSDOT), Vermont (VTrans), Kansas (KDOT), Missouri (MoDOT), Colorado (CDOT), Texas (TxDOT), Washington (WSDOT). MPOs in most of these states were visited, too. While the scan team identified best practices in both the states and MPOs it reviewed, it is important to note that the team, following its site visits, has concluded that numerous variables will usually determine which practices are applicable, practical, or even effective in an individual state or MPO. Size, complexity, governmental structure, and interagency relations all help determine practices that help states and MPOs comply with fiscal constraint and YOE. Not all practices will have value everywhere. Nevertheless, certain of the best practices identified could be adapted and applied in appropriate ways so that many states and MPOs could benefit.
