Conclusion
While the SODOT scenario is hypothetical, it has been based on realistic examples and out-
comes. The goal of this exercise has been to demonstrate real-life issues that can arise and how
the SWCP process can be applied in addressing those issues. While there is no certainty that this
will lead to an outcome similar to the one in the State of South Orange, the SWCP process can
still provide positive benefits to state DOT planners and decisionmakers--and possibly to other
state government decisionmakers as well--and a better statewide transportation system.
