This implementation project supports streamlined project delivery, one of the goals outlined by the Texas

Department of Transportation (TxDOT) leadership to achieve an efficient and effective transportation system

in Texas. The project benefits TxDOT divisions, districts, and metropolitan planning organizations during

the project development process. This project was developed to help TxDOT implement the findings of

TxDOT Project 0-6758: Maintaining Project Consistency with Transportation Plans throughout the Project

Life Cycle with an Emphasis on Maintaining Air Quality Conformity. The research team organized and

conducted four training workshops in Houston, El Paso, and Dallas District offices; and at the 2014 TxDOT

Environmental Conference in Galveston. In addition to the training slides, the participants received the

Project Consistency Guidebook, which documents procedures, tools, and recommendations to prevent and

address project inconsistencies throughout the project development process. The research team collected and

documented feedback from the participants. Researchers then finalized the training materials based on

workshop feedback. The research team submitted the final training materials to TxDOT’s Human Resources

Training Program for inclusion in the TxDOT employee training catalog and the TxDOT iWay training

system.
