A Review of the Virginia Department of Transportation's Business Relocation Process
Author: Cheryl A. KytePublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business relocation
Languages : en
Pages : 60
Book Description
This report details a study that reviewed the Virginia Department of Transportation's (VDOT) business relocation program, with a focus on the relocation difficulties of retail gasoline service stations operating on leased property, as mandated by House Joint Resolution 490 passed by the Virginia General Assembly in 1999. The researchers reviewed reports and legislation related to business relocations and conducted interviews with VDOT field relocation agents, senior FHWA staff, and a representative of the Virginia Gasoline Marketers Council. The study also included a mail survey of businesses relocated by VDOT between 1993 and 1999 and surveys and interviews of relocation agents in other state DOTs. Statistical analyses were performed on relocation payment data for 262 Virginia businesses to estimate what the average payments would have been in the absence of the limits in the federal Uniform Act and how much higher the limits would need to be to ensure that the majority of relocated businesses were compensated appropriately. The recommendations were: (1) FHWA should strongly consider increasing the federal maximums for reestablishment and in lieu of actual moving costs (ILO) payments, given the evidence from Virginia and numerous other states. (2) FHWA should index their reestablishment and ILO payment maximums to the Consumer Price Index to account for inflation. Virginia should also index its relocation payment ceilings to inflation. (3) As long as relocation payment ceilings exist, Virginia should monitor actual payments to businesses and conduct analyses similar to those done in this study every few years. (4) VDOT may wish to consider the potential value of conducting a prospective study of business displacees. Ideally, any future study of the impact of displacement on businesses would follow a sample of businesses from initiation of negotiations to the conclusion of displacement process.

Book Description
"TRB's National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Report 722: Assessing Highway Tolling and Pricing Options and Impacts provides state departments of transportation (DOTs) and other transportation agencies with a decision-making framework and analytical tools that describe likely impacts on revenue generation and system performance resulting from instituting or modifying user-based fees or tolling on segments of their highway system. Volume 2: Travel Demand Forecasting Tools provides an in-depth examination of the various analytical tools for direct or adapted use that are available to help develop the forecasts of potential revenue, transportation demand, and congestion and system performance based on tolling or pricing changes. Volume 1: Decision-Making Framework includes information on a decision-making framework that may be applied to a variety of scenarios in order to understand the potential impacts of tolling and pricing on the performance of the transportation system, and on the potential to generate revenue to pay for system improvements"--Publication information.

Book Description
Scoping is the process of developing a project's objectives, need, preliminary cost estimate, and preliminary schedule based on a recognized need that the project is intended to address. This study (INDOT/JTRP SPR 3944) was launched by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT)/Joint Transportation Program (JTRP) to develop a synthesis of scoping processes in different State Highway Agencies (SHA). The study was conducted using a qualitative exploratory approach focusing on the review of project scoping practices across different SHAs. Focused interviews with personnel from State Highway Agencies (SHA) along with the review of documents gathered during the literature search and resources provided by SHAs were the avenues used for data collection in the study.The study focused on eleven themes for the assessment of project scoping procedures: (1) primary entity with responsibility for scoping projects, (2) timeline for scoping activities, (3) functional groups within the State Highway Agency involved in scoping, (4) cost estimation procedures, (5) application of Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS), (6) addressing maintenance needs, (7) methods of assessing scope creep, (8) tracking the quality and effectiveness of scoping processes, (9) environmental consideration in scoping processes, (10) data collection and data sharing, and (11) scoping practices which have evolved/benefited the State Highway Agency. The report presents key findings of the study and provides suggestions for further investigation by INDOT.

Book Description
The unprecedented growth at 26 military installations across the country due to the implementation of several concurrent DoD initiatives is expected to stress transportation needs for surrounding communities. The Defense Access Roads program, while small when compared to other transportation funding sources, provides a means for DoD to pay a share of the cost of highway improvements due to unusual and sudden DoD-generated activities. This report: (1) assessed the use of the program to mitigate transportation needs; and (2) identified additional steps that may be necessary to address unmet transportation needs. Includes recommend. Charts and tables. This is a print on demand edition of an important publication.

Gravel Roads
Author: Ken SkorsethPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Gravel roads
Languages : en
Pages : 112
Book Description
The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.
