This study was conducted to examine existing conditions at Virginia's interstate rest areas and welcome centers and to assess what impact additional services, such as vending machines, might have on the service delivery of these facilities. A selected sample of seven rest areas and four welcome centers were visited in October 1986, May 1987, and August 1987 for a 1- to 2-day period for the purpose of obtaining data. Traffic counts, vehicle occupancy, length of stay, restroom and amenity usage, and parking lot occupancy rates were all recorded. Videotapes were made to record general condition. Stopping motorists were asked to respond to a mail back survey, and interviews were conducted with rest area custodians. The impact of vending machines, which were installed at 7 sites in May 1987, was also assessed. The study generally revealed that the interstate traveler is quite dependent on rest areas and welcome centers. It also pointed out the need for additional and refurbished facilities in Virginia, especially with respect to women's restrooms. Vending machines were found to be enthusiastically received by the public, to generate approximately 30 percent more refuse but little in the way of litter, to incur some vandalism but only while attendants were not on duty, and to generate a substantial amount of revenue for the VDOT and Virginia State Department for the Visually Handicapped.

Efforts to privatize rest areas and welcome centers on Interstate highways have been steadily progressing for 40 years. Today the idea of rest area privatization (or any commercialization beyond vending machines and information booths) continues to be explored by state DOTs, AASHTO, USDOT and FHWA. In addition, support in Congress to reform transportation policies related to rest areas has been increasing. In the 1960s, during development of the interstate highway system, state and federal fuel tax receipts were sufficient to fund the maintenance of existing rest facilities and provide for expansion through new construction, including the maintenance and development of new rest areas. However, with the rapid growth in VMT and limited growth in revenues from gas taxes, funding for the development of public rest areas has become a lower priority (Kress and Dornbusch, 1991, 1). Clearly, the environment and context in which rest areas were initially developed has undergone tremendous change. However, today DOTs are being forced to prioritize their inventories of structures, and keeping bridges and other critical structures maintained in a time of limited resources takes priority over rest areas. Why weren't rest areas privatized decades ago? When Congress created the Interstate Highway System in 1956, community leaders feared that local businesses, jobs (and their tax base) would shrink if motorists bypassed their cities and towns. In response, Congress enacted legislation prohibiting development on the interstate rights-of-way under section 111 of title 23 United States Code. Since then, rest areas have not been able to offer large-scale commercial services, such as food, fuel, and merchandise at rest areas built after January 1, 1960. It should be noted that some states have commercialized existing service plazas along the interstate system that were grandfathered because the facilities predated the Federal Interstate Highway System. Ironically, since the early 1990s, many State DOTs (including VDOT) have maintained a conservative stance on scheduling and funding rest area and welcome center refurbishment and construction, in the event that legislative changes might "soon" permit the private sector to bear such costs. Meanwhile, many private companies began approaching states with plans for the development of expanded commercial services in such areas, offering to bear the construction and maintenance costs. While the efforts of those firms have been rebuffed, at this point they are likely well positioned to pull those plans back out should an opportunity arise. Like DOTs, they too are waiting.
