Corridor Study Process
The corridor study process is meant to promote effective decision-making by fostering a cooperative spirit and building trust and relationships among state, regional and local partners, and the public. These relationships are one of the most important elements in developing and implementing a corridor study.
The success of this study will not hinge on a final report, but it will be judged on the partners’ ability to work together to influence and guide decisions in the corridor that improve safety and mobility, address environmental concerns, and respect community values. This requires the early and continuous involvement of all affected interests identified during the initial stages of study planning.
