• Abstract:
  This report documents an investigation into the transportation project development process in the
  
  context of the implementation of bus rapid transit systems on the State Highway System as well as such
  
  systems being part of the Federal New Starts Project Planning and Development Program. This setting
  
  brings together two traditionally separate types of transportation implementation projects: the
  
  traditional highway construction project and implementation of a public transportation project. The
  
  focus of the project was on two sometimes differing Project Development Procedures – State and
  
  Federal – both of which must at times be followed. Because of such differences, conflicts can arise and
  
  contribute to the use of resources that might not otherwise be used contributing to implementation
  
  delays. An investigation of site-specific bus rapid transit projects both within California and out-ofstate
  
  was conducted, which led to the development of recommendations to help mitigate the impact of
  
  having to follow multiple Project Development Procedures for a single bus rapid transit project and to
  
  help implement it more efficiently.
