Value of AASHTO Participation Standards, Specifications, and Guidelines Research needs Industry innovation Advice from peers to solve common issues Foundation for SCDOT policy and manuals Litigation Balloting process – gives SCDOT a voice in national design guidance. SC reviews and ballots. 35 affirmative votes clinch. Research – identify gaps in technology, data, resources, etc. Industry Innovation – evaluate emerging technology and trends (Connected and Automated Vehicles (CAV), electric scooters/bikes, etc.) Unified Voice – strength in numbers Policy and Manuals – future is to utilize AASHTO more effectively and eliminate unnecessary duplication
