How did IDOT determine the value of $24,000 per benefited receptor as economically reasonable?
According to FHWA, an acceptable cost/residence index for determining the reasonableness of abatement is $15,000 to $50,000/residence. IDOT considers $24,000 per benefited receptor as reasonable. In some instances, IDOT may allow exceptions to this criterion to close gaps between two barriers, provide continuity to similar adjacent land uses, extend barriers to the next natural/manmade feature or to address other significant area noise level contributors.
