Abstract	Passage of the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 and corresponding requirments in Florida ISTEA established stronger policy support for corrridor preservation on a state and federal level. In 1995, the legislature enacted additional corridor preservation legislation. As a result, the Florida Department of Transportation and local governments are now re-evaluating and strengthening their approach to right-of-way acquisition and corridor preservation. By enacting corridor preservation techniques, local governments may avoid unnecessary damage to homes and businesses. Inadequate management of corridor right-of-way needs has also caused right-of-way to consume a growing proportion of the highway construction budget. This report summarizes Florida's right-of-way preservation policies, activities and strategies.
