Cost Sharing Policies of State Transportation Agencies

The Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is in the process of updating its cost participation policy and was interested in learning about other states' cost sharing policies and cooperative programs for consideration in implementing applicable findings into this policy update. This Transportation Research Synthesis includes a review of relevant state laws and policies, as submitted by state transportation agencies. It also identifies elements of effective policies and lessons learned from the development and implementation of these policies. The review resulted in a compilation of survey results and in-depth summaries of five case studies of effective policies.
