Potential Revenue Generation Through Commercialization of Arizona Rest Areas

ADOT is interested in conducting a feasibility analysis to better understand the impacts, benefits, and drawbacks of rest area commercialization in Arizona in the event that the current laws (the Federal Randolph-Sheppard Act of 1936, 23 U.S.C. § 111) are ever changed. This analysis would help ADOT determine if commercialization is even a viable option for Arizona. As part of the research study, the current state and federal laws, financial and economic implications, and public perceptions will be explored with the advantages and disadvantages thoroughly documented.
