This synthesis report will be of interest to state department of transportation (DOT) management and personnel, as well as to other professionals in both the public and private sectors. Its primary purpose is to report on the incorporation of integrated roadside vegetation management decision-making processes into highway project planning, design, construction, and maintenance, as well as to document existing research and practice.
This synthesis report of the Transportation Research Board contains information culled from survey responses received from transportation agencies in 21 states and 5 Canadian provinces. Survey results offer up a broadly varied picture of the state of the practice. An overall increase in environmental knowledge and regulation has triggered implementation of individual vegetation management methods that are environmentally responsive, but often very costly. This has greatly challenged DOTs. Although there is little documentation, some example documents are presented to supplement text references. This information is combined with reviews of applicable literature to yield a compendium of successful practice and that which might have potential for success and implementation in other state DOTs.
