• Abstract:
  The 2016 VTrans Research Peer Exchange was held on February 10th and 11th, 2016 in Montpelier, VT. The panelists ; included representatives from the Minnesota, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, and South ; Dakota DOTs, as well as from FHWA Vermont Division and the University of Vermont (UVM) Transportation Research ; Center (TRC). The Peer Exchange intended to inform the development of a Research Program Review and Strategic Plan ; for VTrans as it undergoes a significant turnover in staff. Specific objectives included: ; - Address Staffing and Resource Deployment: The Research Program will have a small staff for the foreseeable ; future. It must therefore explore ways to leverage that small staff using partnerships (e.g., with universities, other State ; agencies, other States), champions, and contributions from across VTrans; ; - Place the Program in Context: The Research Program conducts several types of research, including short-term ; “quick response” projects for in-house staff and longer-term research conducted in-house and through UVM, the New ; England Transportation Consortium (NETC), National Cooperate Highway Research Program (NCHRP), Strategic ; Highway Research Program (SHRP 2), Transportation Research Board (TRB), and pooled fund studies with other ; states; ; - Describe the Program’s Relationship with Partners: The Research Program’s largest partner is UVM, which ; currently administrates approximately 40 percent of VTrans’ FHWA SP&R allotment; ; - Focus on Customers and Customer Service: The Research Program has primarily internal customers, but also ; serves other Vermont state agencies, UVM, and FHWA, among others. Identifying and communicating effectively with ; customers is critical for effective implementation.
