Description:

This report covers an evaluation of the upgrade to standards requirements for FM highways in Texas. The objectives of the study were to determine the additional costs of upgrade to standards requirements as part of the TxDOT Rehabilitation Program, develop alternative strategies and policies to reduce those adverse impacts, and evaluate the cost-effectiveness of proposed strategies for upgrading substandard highways. The first section of the report covers the literature review, survey of districts, and design exceptions. The second section covers the estimated costs, both to TxDOT and to motorists, of not upgrading a representative 2-lane FM highway. The third section covers the use of the HEEM-111 program to make estimates of the cost-effectiveness of upgrading these substandard highways. The last section covers possible policy alternatives and implications.
