• Abstract:
  The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) applied the Eco-Logical approach1 to the 20-mile I-75 reconstruction project, where it saved $1,043,740, improved permitting efficiencies and environmental outcomes, and enhanced interagency coordination. This business case illustrates how MDOT achieved these quantifiable benefits. Additional benefits are expected as MDOT applies this approach to the remaining project phases. MDOT will continue to track costs and benefits through the completion of all phases of the I-75 reconstruction. The Second Strategic Highway Research Program’s (SHRP2) Implementing Eco-Logical Implementation Assistance Program (IAP) provided $250,000 to support MDOT’s Eco-Logical efforts.
