Valuation and Compensation for Accommodating Utility and Communications Installations in Public Rights of Way
The objective of this research was to identify best practices and prepare guidelines for state DOTs on how to evaluate and charge for the accommodation of utility and communication installations on public highway right-of-way (ROW). The guidelines were to at least include a comparison of fees, leasing, and in-kind trading used by a majority of state DOTs. Reasons for the variance in fees, valuation methods, and other factors were analyzed to explain the variation in approaches taken by state DOTs, and were to be standardized and normalized so that the comparisons are evaluated in like terms. The guidelines were to provide state DOTs the means and approaches necessary to execute a fee or leasing schedule for occupancy both for general utilities and for telecommunications facilities.
