Abstract:The Federal Highway Administration, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and National Cooperative Highway Research Program sponsored a scanning study of innovative right-of-way and utility practices that might be applicable in the United States. The scan team found that two Australian states, Queensland and New South Wales, have developed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) and similar agreements with utility companies to facilitate cooperation and optimize relationships between transportation agencies and utilities. This report provides the results of a survey of State highway agencies in the United States on partnering agreements with utility companies and whether any have agreements similar to the Australian MOUs. It also provides a step-by-step approach for developing an Australian-type MOU in the United States, a sample MOU template, and a sample conflict resolution matrix for handling differences that may arise.
