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
