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. One of the most time-honored of the technical activities that TRB performs, state visits last one or two days and typically consist of meetings with various levels of DOT management; discussions with DOT staff involved in various topic areas; exchanges of issues and ideas; and, often, a visit to DOT facilities or to project sites. This article summarizes issues facing state DOTs, revealed through the state visits program in 2019, and the many policies and programs state DOTs are using to improve the transportation system. Topics include: data-informed decision making, improving communication among research offices, drone technologies, automation in freight transportation, precision-scheduled railroading, rural public transportation issues, transportation equity, transportation innovations and litigation risks, sustainable pavement design, workforce and retention issues in maintenance divisions, the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for asset management, connected and automated vehicles, and data-driven approaches to improve highway safety.
