Recent FHWA guidance on non-traditional uses of public right of way (ROW) has increased demand for state-owned ROW. Non-traditional uses include broadband, equipment for connected and autonomous vehicles, alternative power sources (e.g., solar, wind), and small cell wireless equipment (collectively named Clean Energy and Connectivity [CEC]). Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) needs a structured framework that can (1) enable strategic deployment of CEC facilities on public ROW and (2) support the development of accommodation standards to guide decision making on issues like CEC placement, construction methods, materials, and permitting. KTC will develop best practices for identifying corridor types and/or general locations most appropriate for CEC deployment on public ROW, and recommend physical standards for permitting alternative ROW uses. |
