Abstract:The MnDOT Office of Materials and Road Research is interested in determining how state departments of transportation (DOTs) are compensating local governments for damage to local roads during highway detours that route traffic onto local roads. MnDOT is also interested in learning how local governments are compensated for expenses incurred when state DOTs use local roads as haul roads during construction. To gather information for this effort, CTC & Associates distributed an online survey to members of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Subcommittee on Construction about their DOT’s cost participation policies and practices for detours. CTC also conducted a literature search for research related to cost participation or state DOT policies available online. Summary of Findings CTC did not find any research topics related to state DOT compensation of local governments when their roads are used for detours or hauling. DOT policies or state statutes were also not available online. However, 21 state DOTs responded to a survey distributed to members of the AASHTO Subcommittee on Construction. With the exception of Iowa and Arizona, DOTs do not seem to use a method (based on gas taxes or other factors) to compensate local governments monetarily. Instead DOTs will repair or repave (or have contractors repair or repave) roads as necessary. Highlighted below are key findings from the survey responses in these topic areas: Compensation for damage or use of local roads. Method for calculating compensation. Written policy or statute for the compensation method. Complaints about inadequate compensation. Plans to change the current compensation method or implement a reimbursement policy.
