This Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) implementation project involved the development of workshop material aimed at disseminating research findings and training participants in hands-on use of the MS Excel-based calculator [sustainability enhancement tool (SET)] through a series of workshops in Fiscal Years 2009 and 2010. The specific project tasks were: Task 1 - Development of Draft Workshop Materials; Task 2 - Perform Workshop Walkthrough; Task 3 - Conduct Regional Workshops; Task 4 - Develop Final Workshop Materials; Task 5 - Update the Analysis Tool; Task 6 - Develop District-MPO-Local Agency Consortium Implementation Plan; and Task 7 - Develop Plan to Integrate into TxDOT Practice. The work done on these tasks is discussed in subsequent sections of this report. Chapter 2 describes the development of workshop materials, Chapter 3 summarizes the workshops conducted, Chapter 4 discusses local agency implementation and plans to integrate into TxDOT practice, and Chapter 5 provides the conclusion and future research. Overall, the research dealt with developing performance measures for sustainability at the highway corridor level.
