The Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) has developed these guidelines to assist FDOT staff in their review of developments. While this handbook is primarily for FDOT staff, it is available to local governments and other transportation partners in an effort to communicate the FDOT’s guidance for reviewing various documents.
The purpose of this document is to guide the professional through the current generally accepted professional practice. This should assist in making better decisions for the study of the transportation impacts of new developments.
OPEN HANDBOOK CURRENT VERSION August 12, 2010
We recommend saving the handbook to your computer. The hyperlinks will open documents in a separate browser window, allowing you to easily toggle between the Handbook and the resources.
The purpose of this document is to guide the professional through the current generally accepted professional practice. It should also help the professional understand the existing statutes, rules, and policies of FDOT. However, unless a rule, statute, or standard is referenced, the material inside is to be used for guidance by professionals. This should assist in making better decisions for the study of the transportation impacts of new developments.
