Project Management and Tracking
• 2-pronged, quarterly tracking system in place
– MS Project
– Narrative, qualitative report
• Quarterly reporting structure
– Universal template, Highlights, Challenges
– Summary report per focus area per quarter
• Key highlights from first quarterly report – Example
– Approaching milestone of 50000 trained in L12/32 TIM
– Champions and opinion leaders identified for C06
– Showcases, demos and workshops held for R04, R05, R09, R10
& R26

Implementation Assistance Program
So Far…
• SHRP2 IAP projects underway in 48 states; more coming in round 4
• Applications Received (Rounds 1-4): 414
– from 49 State DOTs + DC DOT
– from 38 MPOs
– from 10 tribes, 6 “others,” FHWA/FLH
• Awards (Rounds 1-3): 65 recipients received 146 awards
(representing work on 180 projects*)
– 44 State DOTs + DC DOT
– 16 MPOs
– 1 tribe, 3 “others,” FHWA/FLH
• Beyond the IAP – successful implementation efforts ongoing in Traffic
Incident Management (L12) – 41 states involved
• Thus, all 50 states + DC are engaged in SHRP2 implementation

We are listening…
Challenge
Solution
Result
Engage transportation
agencies in every
state
State visits; increased
targeted outreach and
communication; better time
intervals throughout IAP;
examination of widest
potential audience
As of Round 4, all but 2
AASHTO member
departments have applied
through the IAP. MPOs,
local DOTs, and others are
also applying.
Connect customers
and facilitate peer-topeer knowledge
transfer
Updated GoSHRP2 site
features In the Field section;
commitment to contributing
to peer exchange; updated
contact info on site
More availability of user
data and stronger linkage of
peer connections
Streamline the postUse lessons learned to
selection IAP activities standardize process
Expectations are managed,
funds are allocated more
timely, and projects are
initiated quicker
