Deploying Transportation Resilience Practices in State DOTs
The purpose of National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP) Project 20-117, Deploying Transportation Resilience Practices in State DOTs, was to develop a set of tools and products for agencies interested in achieving a “resilience-focused” culture in their organizations. For purposes of this research, a resilience-focused transportation agency is one that has “…the ability to anticipate, prepare for and adapt to changing transportation system conditions and withstand, respond to, and recover rapidly from disruptions.” Two major research products in support of this purpose was the development of a Resilience Guide and Self-Assessment Tool for use by transportation officials and organizing a Resilience Innovations Summit and Exchange (RISE). RISE was structured to share insights and best practices among state DOTs and others that support mainstreaming resilience concepts throughout an entire organization. This report presents key observations from the RISE meeting and discusses key characteristics of the self-assessment tool. The final section of the report discusses strategies for implementing the results of this research and for creating a more lasting institutional focus on transportation system resilience. These strategies focus on possible national efforts (e.g., creating something similar to the current National Traffic Incident Management Coalition (NTIMC) organization), state-level initiatives (e.g., training and peer exchanges), and efforts to include system resilience concepts into educational and training programs.
