2. Agenda • Research-Development-Implementation Continuum • AASHTO/FHWA Prioritization Process • Definition of Success • Assumptions • Joint AASHTO/FHWA 3-Year Plan • Budget • Next Steps

3. Research to Implementation Implementation ResearchDevelopment

4. SHRP2 Plan of Action • Research (2007 - 2013) • 100+ research projects • Administered by TRB • Development (Now through 2015) • Conversion of research results into 65+ products that are usable by implementing agencies • Pilot testing and refinement of products • Implementation (2012 - forward) • Partner agencies prioritize products for implementation • State DOTs and other agencies integrate products into current transportation practices

5. Development Activities • TRB is underway with development activities to convert research results into usable products through: • original research contracts • extensions to research contracts • separate development contracts • Activities include development of: • Guidebooks • Training programs • Model specifications and/or standards • Web tools • Webinars and workshops • Pilot tests of products • Additional resources may be needed for TRB to complete all development activities

6. What Is Implementation? • Implementation is the routine useof a SHRP2 product • Carried out by State DOTs and other implementing agencies • Focus on high-priority products for national adoption, with lesser efforts on other products

7. Prioritization Process • 2011 Priorities from SCOH Survey and FHWA • AASHTO Implementation Task Force • FHWA Priority Process • Collaboration among TRB, AASHTO, FHWA • Joint FHWA/AASHTO 3-Year Plan • Endorsement by FACA Committee • Detailed Implementation Plans for the entire SHRP 2 Program and for Products or Groups of Products • Deployment Note: a parallel process is underway among TRB, FHWA, NHTSA and AASHTO to develop an Implementation Plan for Safety

8. Products Prioritized in 2011 • Early products prioritized by AASHTO Standing Committee on Highways • AASHTO and FHWA presented a joint recommendation for products to be implemented early to the FACA Committee for endorsement in December, 2011 • 2011 Priorities: • R04 Bridge Designs for Rapid Renewal • R15B Integrating Utility/Transportation • R16 Railroad Agreements • R23 Long-Life Pavements • R26 Preservation on High Volume Roadways • L12 Training for Traffic Incident Responders • L31 CEO Workshop on Operations

9. AASHTO Implementation Task Force • The Implementation Task Force (ITF) consisted of a group of 20 leaders from AASHTO Committees • Charge was to prioritize products from the Renewal, Reliability and Capacity focus areas • Met March 22-23 in Washington, DC • Members provided background information on products and priorities of AASHTO committees and SHRP 2 Technical Coordinating Committees • Multi-step process to narrow down and rank order highest priority products

10. FHWA Priority Process • FHWA program offices reviewed all of the products to determine how they supported FHWA’s priority initiatives and their relationship with other ongoing FHWA programs. • FHWA agreed with the AASHTO Implementation Task Force on most priorities. • Five products rated lower; six were rated higher priority (including two that AASHTO did not rate as a priority) • FHWA also recommended bundling of several related products.

11. AASHTO/FHWA/TRB Collaboration • Review with FHWA and AASHTO program offices of : • Product readiness and schedule • Audience readiness • Additional work needed to make product ready for transfer • Work needed by AASHTO and FHWA to be ready for implementation • Implementation strategy and resources required • Potential state DOTs for early deployment

12. Definition of Success

13. Key Assumptions

14. Development of 3-Year Plan • A 3-year plan was jointly agreed to by AASHTO and FHWA based on the following considerations: • AASHTO and FHWA priorities • Year each priority product is ready • Logical bundling of products • 6-7 products per year • Fiscally constrained to $81 million • Planning level cost estimates • Set asides for additional and cross cutting items
