Research Project

Best Practices for Linking Strategic Planning to Resource Allocation and Implementation Decisions Using Elements of a Transportation Asset Management Program

The proposed research not only builds on the past and ongoing work but also assembles a set of tools based on experiences and best practices in a diverse set of states. To do this researchers drew upon the literature and a survey of practices in each of the state DOTs that will explore, document and synthesize both strategic planning processes and products. With input from an expert advisory panel, the group selected states for detailed analysis.

Abstract

This project involved an expert panel that was chaired by Bob Johns, Director of the Center for Transportation Studies at University of Minnesota. The five to seven members of the panel will be recruited from local and regional public and private sector senor executives and researchers. Consideration will be given to integrating the meetings of the expert panel with the two meetings with the MRUTC Advisory Committee.  This research will build upon the successful themes identified and in practice today. It will also facilitate and integrate the successful strategic planning and performance measurements found in DOT asset management programs and to assist in the knowledge transfer of the results. Download the "Best Practices for Linking Strategic Planning to Resource Allocation and Implementation Decisions Using Elements of a Transportation Asset Management Program" study.
