This report describes lessons learned from pilot applications in three state transportation agencies of methods initially presented in NCHRP Research Report 846: Improving Findability and Relevance of Transportation Information. The earlier report presents guidance for agencies for adapting and applying practices and tools to facilitate on-demand retrieval of useful information stored in project files, libraries, and other agency archives. Collecting, storing, preserving, and retrieving this information represent increasingly complex and costly challenges for people at all levels of the organization. The pilot applications described here demonstrate the potential value of the previously described practices and tools as well as the challenges likely to be faced by personnel undertaking to improve information findability within their agencies. Taken together, both research reports will be helpful to agency staff and others responsible for developing and managing an agency’s information resources and for assisting information users to access the information they need, when they need it, in pursuit of the agency’s mission.
