Description
Better predictability of a project’s cost and schedule outcomes during initial planning and
programming stage offer significant benefits to state transportation agencies and their stake
holders. Being able to better predict the likelihood of project cost and schedule growth early in
project development would allow a state transportation agency to take action and avoid the added
costs associated with construction change orders, as well as improve the accuracy of a state
transportation agencies’ programming and cash forecasting. Current planning and programming
among state transportation agencies appears to fall short in achieving these goals. This is also
evident in the frequent Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)/State Transportation
Improvement Program (STIP) revisions and administrative modifications by Metropolitan
Planning Organizations (MPOs) and State Transportation Agencies (STAs). A new approach to
scoping within a state’s transportation agency is necessary in order to avoid these negative
impacts on project development costs and schedules.
