Abstract:
The theme of this Peer Exchange was to identify research opportunities through visioning.

FDOT implemented a new process for identifying research needs which called for a statewide

meeting of transportation experts from both FDOT and the state universities. The meeting was

dubbed the FDOT Research Symposium, and it was attended by over 130 registered

participants, including mostly FDOT project managers and university researchers, but also

some representatives of divisions of sponsored research and private research consultants. This

symposium, which involved visioning and research concept development processes, was the

specific focus of the peer exchange. The purpose of the symposium was to gather FDOT project managers, office managers, and

directors, and university transportation researchers from around the state to network and

explore the future of transportation in Florida. The goal was to generate a roadmap of research

that should be undertaken in the near term to support Florida’s anticipated transportation

system needs. The ideas that compose the roadmap will be prioritized and developed into a

strategic research plan for FDOT. By participating in the symposium, participants had a voice

in developing the ideas that will help to guide FDOT’s research program and potentially shape

the future of transportation in Florida. This approach marked a significant departure from

FDOT’s traditional approach to developing an annual research program
