NCHRP Report 662 describes how selected transportation agencies have reduced the time required to complete the project delivery process. This process takes new or renewed transportation facilities and services from conception to completion, ready for users. Project delivery is a primary indicator of an agency's effectiveness. Individual highway and other transportation projects are developed under programs intended to implement agency and legislative initiatives and other public policy. The way programs are organized and managed can determine the speed and efficiency of project development. Accelerating program functions can speed up project delivery. This report describes the experiences of eight state departments of transportation (DOTs) that made improvements in their project delivery and the lessons to be learned from their experiences. The information will be useful to DOT managers seeking to ensure that their agencies' organization, policies, and program operations facilitate project delivery.

This report is the seventh of seven developed by state transportation officials to provide information and policy recommendations to the National Surface Transportation Policy and Revenue Study Commission. The report suggests that the federal government should set a goal of cutting the current project delivery time in half, achieving in five to seven years what now takes 10 to 15. It contains recommendations and case studies that demonstrate that such a goal is achievable.
