• Abstract:
  Since 2004 WisDOT has developed a number of new techniques, methods, processes and procedures for management of two new ; types of transportation projects: “Mega projects” and projects funded through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of ; 2009 (ARRA). However, there has not been a comprehensive evaluation of the processes used to determine their effectiveness and ; whether they have provided sufficient benefit to be more widely implemented as a department best practice. ; This research project identifies procedures, standards, and programs used in these projects and evaluated their effectiveness to ; determine if they have benefits for future use and how they could be adopted by the department. ; The results will help WisDOT best decide where and when to apply the new techniques and processes developed so as to optimize ; available resources on future projects.
