Abstract:This report documents an investigation into the transportation project development process in the
context of the implementation of bus rapid transit systems on the State Highway System as well as such
systems being part of the Federal New Starts Project Planning and Development Program. This setting
brings together two traditionally separate types of transportation implementation projects: the
traditional highway construction project and implementation of a public transportation project. The
focus of the project was on two sometimes differing Project Development Procedures – State and
Federal – both of which must at times be followed. Because of such differences, conflicts can arise and
contribute to the use of resources that might not otherwise be used contributing to implementation
delays. An investigation of site-specific bus rapid transit projects both within California and out-ofstate
was conducted, which led to the development of recommendations to help mitigate the impact of
having to follow multiple Project Development Procedures for a single bus rapid transit project and to
help implement it more efficiently.
