Abstract:There is a serious need in Texas for better integration of land use and transportation planning, and better
coordination of land use and transportation decision making. Coordinated local-state partnerships in corridor
management and preservation would go a long way toward addressing this disconnect and lack of
integration. In light of the state’s ever-increasing growth and land values, it is critical for TxDOT, like many
other state DOTs, to work with communities to ensure that existing and future on-system corridors are
managed and/or preserved as part of long-range comprehensive planning efforts and as development occurs.
The objective of the research is to develop methods and guidelines where corridor management and
preservation can be accomplished through coordinated application of local and TxDOT regulations. The
research will assess the role of locally adopted transportation plans, regional transportation authorities, and
MPOs in corridor management and preservation. It will detail regulatory components, zoning overlay
districts, current practices, and case studies in Texas and throughout the United States for these activities.
The research will review methods and tools for acquiring and preserving right-of-way in the context of
expediting the environmental clearance process and review how corridors are prioritized, designated, and
adopted for management or preservation.
