• Abstract:
  Tracking environmental costs in the project development process has been a challenging task for state ; departments of transportation (DOTs). Previous research identified the need to accurately track and ; subsequently estimate project costs resulting from environmental mitigation requirements. There is currently ; no single source or management system for capturing and/or estimating the Texas Department of ; Transportation’s (TxDOT’s) project-related mitigation costs statewide. The purpose of this continuation ; project was to determine types of mitigation costs for TxDOT projects and identify the funding sources, ; mechanisms, and processes for acquiring funding and administering payment, as well as conduct a synthesis ; of mitigation cost tracking and estimating at selected state DOTs.
