Utility Accommodation Policy: State DOTs are required to develop policies and procedures pertaining to the use, accommodation, and/or relocation of public and private utility facilities on highway rights-of way using Federal-aid highway funds. State DOTs are required to develop, maintain, and obtain FHWA approval of their Utility Accommodation Policy (UAP) (23 CFR section 645.215). This EPG article 643 and subarticles 643.1 through 643.3 are Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT)’s Utility Accommodation Policy. Text in EPG 643 consolidates various federal and state statutes and rules into a single, cohesive, workable policy to outline processes for MoDOT staff and utility owners.

Delegation of Work: Each MoDOT district is responsible for ensuring implementation of the UAP outlined in the subsequent EPG articles. Each district can create its own organization for whom is responsible for the work including between divisions and job titles. Work responsibilities within this article and subarticles are generic where possible. If a specific title is included, that title has sole responsibility for that item of work.
