Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: The Technical Activities Division of the Transportation Research Board (TRB) conducts the State Partnership Visits Program, in which TRB staff with expertise in various modes and topics visit state departments of transportation (DOTs), university transportation centers, transit and other modal agencies, and private industry. By identifying needed and in-progress research and by disseminating the results of completed research, these visits support TRB’s mission of promoting innovation and progress in transportation through research and information exchange. State visits last one or two days and typically consist of meetings with DOT management, discussions with DOT staff involved in various topic areas, exchanges of issues and ideas, and often a visit to DOT facilities or sites of ongoing projects. This article is a summary of the issues facing state DOTs that were revealed through the State Partnership Visits Program in 2018. Issues include: big data and data analytics, unmanned aircraft systems, autonomous freight vehicles, megaships, high-speed rail, transportation network companies, climate change, and connected and automated vehicles.
