SEAMLESS TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER VIA STRATEGIC PARTNERING BETWEEN STATE TRANSPORTATION AGENCIES AND ACADEMIC/RESEARCH INSTITUTIONS

This paper describes traditional and emerging trends in methods of delivering research, development, and technology transfer (RD&T2) to transportation agencies responsible for transportation infrastructure, operations, and services. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are discussed. Special emphasis is given to the method of strategic partnering between transport agencies and the research/academic community via consortia, and potential for this partnering in fostering the creation of 'learning organizations.' Finally, a case study of a strategic partnering effort in the delivery of RD&T2 to the New York State Department of Transportation is presented. The circumstances leading to its formation and the lessons learned during its first 5 years of operation are also discussed.
