Abstract:This report documents the NMDOT Research Peer Exchange held April 10-11, 2013 in
Albuquerque, New Mexico in accordance with the requirements of 23 CFR 420. It
involved NMDOT staff and representatives from the state DOTs of Arizona, Ohio,
Texas, Washington, and Wisconsin. The two key objectives of the peer exchange were to
identify steps toward creating a Strategic Research Program that supports the
Department’s Strategic Plan and to develop strategies for overcoming operation
obstacles. It included a review of the NMDOT research program and presentations from
the other peer states on their programs. The peer exchange found that the NMDOT
research program had made significant progress since the last peer exchange in 2008.
The peer exchange recommended that the NMDOT should develop a Strategic Research
Plan to guide their research project selection process; expedite the overall research
project development process by conducting some steps simultaneously; develop a
“Quick-Response Program” to address high-priority research needs; strengthen the
implementation process for completed projects and develop outcome performance
measures; develop a communication and marketing plan to transmit the value of the
research program; and build productive partnerships with senior managers, customers,
and stakeholders.
