Abstract:

This report describes a decision-making framework that supports collaborative business practices for reaching decisions on how to add highway capacity when it is deemed necessary. The framework consists of the key decision points in the various processes at which approvals are required to advance. This framework provides structure for all the insights from 23 case studies in which collaborative methods were successful in achieving consensus and delivering needed highway capacity expansions. The report summarizes the findings from these case studies, discusses barriers and how they were overcome, and describes how technologies were used to assist in reaching decisions. The report concludes with a description of the web tool, now called PlanWorks, which helps practitioners diagnose their business practices that either require or would benefit from collaboration. The collaborative entities include state and local transportation agencies; Federal Highway Administration, including division offices and resource centers; the public; nongovernmental organizations; state resource agencies; and federal environmental regulatory agencies.
