TR News: Integrating Stormwater Infrastructure into State Department of Transportation Processes

The Alabama Department of Transportation (DOT) incorporated post-construction stormwater management design into the overall roadway design process. The Texas DOT developed the approval process for products used in the construction of a roadway to promote vegetation. And the Virginia DOT improved the management of data associated with stormwater infrastructure best management practices to effectively focus maintenance efforts.

In a feature article in TR News magazine, Number 328, July-August 2020, the authors note that a state DOT seeking to integrate stormwater infrastructure into its processes should consider its goal attainable, given ample time and the lessons already learned by other state DOTs. The article is titled, "Integrating Stormwater Infrastructure into State Department of Transportation Processes."
