• Abstract:
  This report summarizes a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) peer exchange that was held on March 13-14, 2018 at the Utah Department of Transportation in Salt Lake City, Utah. The purpose of the peer exchange was to bring together practitioners to discuss issues related to and approaches for accommodating renewable energy technologies in highway rights-of-way (ROWs) and on other State Department of Transportation (DOT) properties. This was the third in a series of FHWA peer exchanges on the topic in 2017-2018. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions at the peer exchange. Presenters from State DOTs discussed existing and planned DOT renewable energy projects in their respective states. Participants also discussed challenges and lessons learned from these projects. The peer exchange included a site visit to several solar installations in Salt Lake City, including rooftop, canopy, and ground-mounted installations that the Utah DOT, Salt Lake City, and the University of Utah own.
