  • Abstract:
    This report summarizes a Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) peer exchange that was held on February 27-28, 2018 at the Missouri Department of Transportation’s St. Louis Transportation Management Center in St. Louis, Missouri. 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 other State DOT property. Practitioners were interested to learn what neighboring states are doing in this area and to begin identifying possible next steps for their own agencies. It was the second such peer exchange in a series that FHWA is supporting. This report summarizes the presentations and discussions at the peer exchange. Presenters from State Departments of Transportation (DOTs), and FHWA discussed their organizations’ current thinking and activities in the highway renewable energy realm. One university graduate student also presented on her relevant research. Participants also discussed challenges and lessons learned. Organizations participating in the meeting included the DOTs from Arkansas, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, and Oklahoma; several FHWA Division Offices; FHWA Office of Natural Environment; FHWA Office of Real Estate Services; Saint Louis University; the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); and the U.S. DOT Volpe Center. Appendix A lists the peer exchange participants, and Appendix B provides the agenda.
