Abstract:Title 23 of the Code of Federal Regulations (23 CFR) establishes requirements for state
departments of transportation (DOTs) to conduct periodic reviews of their research,
development, and technology (RD&T) programs. One of the tools available to state DOTs in
reviewing their State Planning and Research (SP&R) programs is the Peer Exchange. According
to the “Guide for Peer Exchanges,” published by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA):
The use of peer exchanges was established to provide State DOT RD&T programs with the
opportunity to examine and evaluate their own programs through a collaborative team of
peers, experts, and persons involved in the process, where the exchange of vision, ideas,
and best practices could be fostered to benefit their program and the program of the
participants. A peer exchange is a focused collaboration among transportation research
colleagues through which a host State may find the means to restructure or merely fine
tune research program processes. With periodic peer exchanges, a State DOT can help
ensure that its research program remains viable, vibrant, and productive.1
Federal regulations require each state to conduct a peer exchange at least once every five
years. Each peer exchange should have an agenda covering two to three days and a panel
consisting of four to five people. The panel should include representatives from other states,
from FHWA, and from other key stakeholder organizations (such as universities with direct
involvement in the SP&R program).
