Abstract:The goal of Complete Streets is to accommodate all road users and bring attention to the needs of vulnerable road users. In the last 10 years, thousands of local/regional/state agencies in the United States (U.S.) have adopted Complete Streets policies. However, it is not clear how successfully these policies have been implemented and to what extent agencies have achieved related policy goals. The research team made a holistic review plan to observe the Policy’s impacts on DOTD’s inputs, activities, project outputs, project outcomes, and project impacts between 1/1/2011 and 12/31/2020 to evaluate whether/how Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) has made progress toward the adopted policy goals. Interviews and surveys were also conducted to better understand successes, barriers, and lessons learned in the first 10 years of DOTD’s Complete provide potential solutions to the identified challenges. Overall, much progress has been made compared with where the state started in 2010. However, shifting agency culture to balance multimodal needs is a long-term process. The research team compiled a full list of recommended actions (in “Recommendations”) and highlighted those, that could potentially be done in the near term (in “Implementation Statement”) for DOTD’s consideration.
