TxDOT Involvement in the Local Development Process

Project Description

The objective of this project was to increase the Texas Department of Transportation's (TxDOT) role in the local development process and to facilitate implementation of TxDOT's access management program through local development review. This objective was achieved by assessing TxDOT's current level of involvement in local development review, examining how TxDOT could most effectively be incorporated into the process, and investigating how a select few other state departments of transportation are involved in the local development process. The results of this research assisted TxDOT districts, cities, and counties across the state by bringing to light the mutual benefits of collaboration between the state and local communities. Increased coordination among these entities fostered the practice of access management and helped ensure TxDOT's interests in right-of-way are considered in platting and developing along state routes. Deliverables for the project included a final report, summary report, and a report containing recommendations and guidelines on how TxDOT can be involved in the local development process.
