APWA MODEL FRANCHISE AND LICENSE AGREEMENTMarch 20th, 2002
Franchise and License Agreements are powerful tools in managing the occupants of public right of ways (ROW). These agreements outline the rules, rights and fees associated with using public property for private purpose. By definition, franchise agreements are applicable for those right of way occupants that provide services to the local community. License agreements are written for firms that are simply travelling through the area with facilities that serve other communities. The power that local municipalities have, and thus the use of these franchise or license tools, is regulated through state law. Federal law may dictate who must have access to ROW, but on what condition this occupancy occurs is clearly under local control. The Franchise and License Agreement serves as the device to set these conditions.
