Outsourcing Transportation Project Delivery Functions: An Alternative Method for Getting the Job Done in Kentucky and Other States

To meet a heightened demand for projects despite restricted resources, state departments of transportation successfully have outsourced many routine functions to private-sector consultants and contractors. The need to outsource is increasing, to accommodate steady workloads and decreases in staff. In this article, the authors analyze findings from surveys of state and district-level agencies on which functions are being outsourced and to what extent, and what the desirable balances are.
