This document was developed for transportation professionals responsible for project

development and has three basic goals:

1. Define project consistency and identify the causes of project inconsistencies and the

critical junctures in the project development process where project consistency

should be reviewed.

2. Identify resources and best practices that minimize project delays and financial risk,

including the Project Consistency Checklist.

3. Provide contact information for external entities and TxDOT offices of primary

responsibility (OPRs) as well as communication guidelines for resolving project

inconsistencies.

To meet these goals, this guidebook is organized as follows:

• Chapter 2 will define project consistency and provide an overview of its elements.

• Chapter 3 will identify the causes of inconsistencies and outline the critical junctures

in the planning and project development processes where project consistency should

be reviewed.

• Chapter 4 will discuss project consistency management throughout the project

development process to minimize delay and financial risk. In addition, this chapter

will identify the tools helpful in this process.
