1 NCHRP Improved Right-of-Way Procedures and Business Practices Cesar Quiroga Texas Transportation Institute Texas A&M University System

2 Research Objectives Develop improved right-of-way procedures and business practices for the project development and delivery process Compare a reference right-of-way business model in compliance with the Uniform Act (as codified in 42 USC 4601 et seq.) and an improved model based on an objective analysis of key business process elements Develop best practices for management 2

3 Phase I: Research Tasks 1. Review Project Development and Delivery Practices 2. Analyze Existing Right-of-Way Development and Delivery 3. Prepare Phase I Interim Report Phase II: 4. Analyze Key Project Development and Delivery Activities 5. Develop Integrated Right-of-Way and Project Development and Delivery Model 6. Develop Best Practices for Property Management 7. Prepare and Conduct Peer Exchange 8. Develop Training Materials 9. Prepare Preliminary Draft Final Report 10. Prepare Draft Final Report 3
