Accomplishing Alternative Access on Major Transportation Corridors

Many communities have developed access management plans and programs aimed at reducing the number of driveways on major arterial routes. These plans often involve the provision of service roads, shared driveways, and interparcel connections that reduce the need for individual sites to have direct, driveway access. Yet accomplishing alternative access can be challenging in today’s development environment. This paper examines strategies for accomplishing alternative access on major transportation corridors, based on actual case examples. It addresses policy, regulatory, and funding strategies for alternative access that can be directly applied by communities alone, or in coordination with state transportation agencies and metropolitan planning organizations.
