The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) is committed to reducing congestion in and around work zones without compromising the safety of workers and the public. The policy contained herein provides guidance for assessing the District work zone impacts on the traveling public across the various stages of all Federal-Aid Highway-funded projects that are determined to be significant. The policy is in compliance with the Work Zone Safety and Mobility Rule published in the Federal Register, September 9, 2004.

The changes contained in this policy found below in the Related Document section will encourage broader consideration by District agency as well as non-agency personnel of the safety and mobility impacts of work zones across project development and the implementation of strategies that help manage these impacts during project delivery.
