Valuation and Compensation for Accommodating Utility and Communications Installations in Public Rights-of-Way
The co-location of utilities and roadways emphasizes the need for resolute guidelines on
accommodating utility and telecommunication facilities in public right-of-way (ROW).
Departments of Transportation (DOTs), as often the managers of this ROW, need to understand
their rules and options in accommodation and in possible compensation from those
accommodations.

communication installations on public ROW.
