Revenue Opportunities from MDOT Fiber Infrastructure and Other Utility Types
Various state highway agencies permit telecommunications to be located longitudinally along freeway rights-of-way (ROW). The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) is interested in a study of alternative sources of transportation revenues that could be phased in over time to replace revenue lost as motor and diesel fuel decline become obsolete. MDOT focus would be on non-vehicle related revenue streams, such as, leasing rights-of-way for Fiber Communications and/or other utility types, possibly private transportation facilities, and/or public-private partnerships.
