SHRP2 On the Move Overview of Current SHRP2 Status and Plan FHWA/AASHTO Implementation Assistance Program SHRP2 Capacity Strategic Plan C37: (re)Naming and (re)Branding of C01 Today, I would like to bring you an update on where we are with SHRP2 – what’s happening with Implementation Assistance, opportunities for engagement, and, in particular, the capacity projects. We also have Pam Hutton, AASHTO’s SHRP2 Implementation Manager with us. 9/22/2018

SHRP2 Implementation Overview 9/22/2018

SHRP2 Implementation Overview 108 projects underway in 34 states with more to start following today’s announcement of Round 2 incentives 2013 has been a pretty exciting year for us. We have seen a real ramp up in activities to implement SHRP2 at the Federal AND state level. FHWA/AASHTO’s Implementation Assistance is moving expertise and funds into 34 states to begin implementing six SHRP2 Solutions. More than 108 projects are underway and we are already getting important feedback. PHOTO EXPLANATION: California has a User Incentive award to reduce animal/vehicle collisions along Highway 89; as a lead adopter, Michigan DOT is building a Regional Ecosystem Framework to reduce impacts of the reconstruction of I-75 along Lake Erie; Idaho Department of Transportation is working with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to develop compatible on-line data sets that can be used by Federal, state, and local agencies, environmental and non-profit groups. And, (drum roll please), hot off the presses, FHWA and AASHTO are today announcing the recipients of Round 2 assistance. You have a handout with all the details. As a result, XX states and XXX more projects will soon be using SHRP2 Solutions. Photos from Capacity Projects ongoing in California (far right) Idaho (right) and Michigan (above), 9/22/2018

Prioritizing States’ Needs AASHTO’s role is focused on identifying which products meet the states’ practical needs We are relying on members and committees to define how implementation can be successful FHWA is our partner in this effort. AASHTO’s role continues to focus on identifying which products meet the states’ practical needs. We are relying on members and committees to define WHAT implementation is and HOW it can be successful. Our members have the on-the-ground experience that is so crucial to determining the most effective use of these products and we at AASHTO along with our partners at FHWA and TRB are looking to leverage that experience during the implementation phase.

Revised SHRP2 Implementation Plan 2012 - 2015 Original plan updated to reflect new funding provided by federal legislation and state contributions New plan includes highest priority products Products by year: 2012 = 7 new products 2013 = 11 new products 2014 = 14 new products 2015 = 14 new products 2014 will include the implementation of Safety Strategies “Starts” – dates represent the year implementation planning begins.

SHRP2 Capacity Strategic Implementation Plan 9/22/2018

Why a Strategic Plan? Group similar projects and plan for implementation together Make better use of implementation planning workshop participants’ time Identify linkages for the implementation process to use resources efficiently Create consistency across capacity focus area Implementation goals that can be applied to each product

Roadmap

Focus area implementation success measures Number of states seeing successful results from use of the products Number of states that incorporate products into standard practice Willingness of states to continue to use SP&R funds for implementation activities Number of academic institutions that incorporate SHRP2 products or processes into curriculum Return on investment from using products

Your Role: Discussion Looking at 2014 and Beyond As a State DOT: What are your DOT priorities? How can these SHRP2 Solutions help you address these priorities? What’s your capacity to take on these products? As SCOP: What role do you wish to play? How can FHWA/AASHTO best benefit from your expertise and guidance? Now that you’ve heard about what’s ahead – we want to spend some time and hear from YOU. (Read slide) 9/22/2018
