Access Management Programs and Practices in the United States (0-1847-1)

The primary objectives of this research were to investigate access management programs, plans, and related activities in various states in order to learn lessons from their experiences and to determine what Texas needs to do regarding legislation to develop and implement an access management program.|This report summarizes the findings of case studies performed on selected states' access management activities, including New Jersey, Colorado, Oregon, Montana, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Hawaii. The research team interviewed department of transportation (DOT) representatives from each state either in person or over the telephone to find out details about their activities and to develop recommendations. This report contains summaries of the state DOT responses and comments, as well as recommendations for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).|The findings and recommendations included in this report will aid TxDOT in the development of an access management program.|Detailed information related to legal and legislative issues are included in a white paper titled "Access Management Strategy in Texas: Legal and Policy Considerations," also published as a part of this project.
