Operations & Maint
Construction
Example SHRP 2 Products• Technical input for design and construction specifications • Standard details and plans• Methods: analysis, design, construction, inspection,
monitoring, data collection, research protocols (manuals)• Software, databases, web-based tools• Institutional strategies, processes (guidelines); model
agreements• New products, equipment, materials, processes, systems,
tests• Demonstrations, pilot studies• Case studies, examples, best practices• Plans: evaluation, monitoring, implementation, marketing,
future research• Reports, papers, presentations, annotated bibliography• Training, certification programs
Potential Users and Beneficiaries• Taxpayers• Motorists• Commercial drivers• Bus riders• Shipping and logistics
professionals• Environmental agencies• Communities, businesses
and event owners• Railroads • Utilities
• Auto manufacturers and suppliers
• MPOs• Law enforcement
providers• Firefighters• EMS providers• Highway designers,
contractors and suppliers
• State and local transportation agencies
SHRP 2 ReliabilityOutcomes
• Performance measures, technical relationships• Reliability requirements for different road users• Guide to design reliability monitoring systems • Model for institutional change toward operations• Technical relationships for HCM, AASHTO
design guide, demand models• Interdisciplinary incident response training• Capacity link: inputs to TCAPP, models• Safety link: ways to improve driver behavior
10
“Implementation” for Safety• Make database accessible to users:
long-term stewardship, upgrading, basic user services, security
• Train researchers and safety professionals in use of data (new ways of thinking about safety): workshops, sabbaticals, curriculum materials
• Technical assistance in data use• Additional analyses: lead to new CM
and improved use of existing CM • Demo & evaluate site-based technology
11
Oversight Committee Charge, December 2009
• AASHTO, FHWA, NHTSA, TRB staff develop coordinated approach to per-implementation (implementation steering group will report)
• Technical Coordinating Committees provide recommendations for initial pre-implementation activities
12
TCC Tasks at April 2009 Meetings• Assess readiness of each product
for early implementation activity• For products that are ready, identify
next logical steps for implementation
• For products not quite ready, consider what needs to be done to move closer to being ready
• Generate good ideas to support future implementation activities
13
“Next Steps” Could Include• Communicate products and value
added for general use: marketing, training, etc.
• Set up demonstration projects• Perform additional testing and
evaluation• Perform related research to
“harden” the product or make it more useful
• Other …
14
The Implementation Continuum
IMPLEMENTATION PLANNING/PREPARATION • Development of program structure and governance • Inventory of resources • General planning by focus area • Detailed planning by product or product groups
OUTREACH, COMMUNICATION, FEEDBACK • Speakers Bureau • Specialty conferences • Facilitated, hands-on workshops • Focus area summary reports • Newsletters, articles, videos, use of social networking
technologies • Newsgathering: facts, quotes, early experiences for inclusion in videos and articles • Webinar series

WSDOT’S TRB Funding
WSDOT makes two voluntary contributions to TRB each year
• TRB Core Services: the annual budget is set through the triennial agreement. This cost is prorated across the state DOTs based on the State Planning & Research (SPR) apportionment
• NCHRP: equivalent to 5.5% of the federal SPR apportionment
34
Other states
WSDOT’s contribution
ROI for TRB
• Unlimited free registration at the TRB Annual Meeting . – Value: $530 advance registration in 2010. 28 WSDOT attendees = $14,840
• Unlimited access to TRB e-sessions. $500pp (per Annual Meeting year) • Annual Meeting presentation library: $95pp (per Annual Meeting year).• Variable discounts for other TRB conferences and workshops.• Unlimited subscriptions for TRB publications –full hard copy set of all TRB
publications: $4,250. Broadly used at WSDOT• Unlimited access to TRISWorld which provides access to over 700,000
records of international research publications (only available to sponsors)• Unlimited online access to the Transportation Research Records. Over 9300
peer-reviewed papers published since 1996. : $5,700 (current year plus all archived years)
• Unlimited attendance in TRB webinars. $99 per webinar (approx 40 webinars per year = $3,960)
35
Continued: ROI for TRB
• Tools and events to facilitate:– Networking with experts from public agency, industry and academic
organizations that represent states, federal agencies, local governments, and other countries through the Annual Meeting, mid-year conferences, web meetings and conference calls. Social networking applications are in development.
– Projects and collaboration in research: • Research Funding Guide • Research in Progress database• Research Needs Statements
– Without the Core Program initiatives, each state DOT would have to invest and apply its own resources to produce and develop the same kinds of information.
– For every $1 that the average state invests in TRB Core Program activities leverages approximately $101 in research-related.
• WSDOT leverages $105/ per each dollar spent
36
Consequences of not Funding
• The impact of reducing our contribution:– May be reduced levels of sponsor benefits listed above. – Might experience fewer appointments to Committees if experience is
equivalent to DOTs providing full sponsorship. – Reduced funding will restrict the ability for TRB to provide innovations
we’ve requested. • TRB has not had to face this issue to date and the TRB Executive
Committee might need to consider appropriate action.
37
WSDOT Involvement in TRB
– WSDOT serves on the TRB Executive Committee– TRB State Representative– 42 employees are on 60 TRB Standing (Technical) Committees
• We Chair six committees– 49 employees on 65 Cooperative Research Project Panels
• We Chair 5 panels– 10 employees on 13 Advisory Committees and Expert Task Groups in
the Strategic Highway Research Program 2 (SHRP2)
Participation provides the opportunity to influence the direction of transportation innovation and research in a variety of topics.
Have also provided summary of Washington State involvement in TRB as useful.
38
CRP Facts on File
• # of Problem Statements submitted and fate of those problem statements
• # of Panel nominees and fate of those nominations– Request summary of agency employees selected in September
Participation provides the opportunity to influence the direction of transportation innovation and research in a variety of topics and shape projects and products to meet the needs of Washington.
39
2010 TRB Annual Meeting Facts• 10,100 attendees
– 65 Countries– 1000+ state DOTs attendees – 1000+ Federal agency attendees
• Over 3000 papers and presentations in more than 600 sessions and workshops
• January 10-14, Washington DC
WSDOT Employees involved in TRB Activities

Why Attend?• To inform and influence trends in transportation on a wide
variety of issues. • Gather information on practices in order to extend our
knowledge and improve our products and processes. • Opportunity for new employees trying to learn rapidly about a
topic as well as the veteran employee keeping abreast of innovations in their field.
• To attract partners and funding.
WSDOT employees are frequently requested as presenters, moderators, and committee members because we are developers and early adopters of new practices.
41

Committees• Met with developer of design method for pile supported embankment – will help reduce our design conservatism for SW region project (maybe 60% cost reduction)
• Poster session paper on using shafts to stabilize landslides – learned about new design method plus software that could allow us to increase shaft spacing and reduce costs
• Met with the geosynthetics industry to develop a plan for a geosynthetic manufacturing plant audit program to improve quality and consistency
• Met with FHWA, ASCE, and proprietary wall industry to begin to reestablish a national wall evaluation program --
will save WSDOT staff time in conducting such reviews for WSDOT’s pre-approved proprietary wall program

Deliver schedule in advance for confirmation – What’s missing?
Send announcements for Intro to TRB session – why they should attend
Send announcements to officials, other players and Ex Com explaining expectations of visit
Execute, Execute, Execute
Pick up TRB staff and escort throughout schedule – that means me and my top staff.
Introduce objectives reiterating expectations at beginning of each interview presentation
Take notes – side benefits that you may get to know more about your own department than you thought possible; uncover deep held secrets and problem areas.
Meals one on one, with group, with staff – good time for reflection; leave time
A Priori
Follow-up with officials – thank you at the least; info as appropriate
Forward additional info from TRB staff
If around NCHRP problem statement submission time, advertise solicitation – it’s on their minds; reminder that you will be looking for panel volunteers.
