The U.S. Domestic Scan program gives transportation agency professionals the opportunity to gain firsthand knowledge of best practices and policies and successful technologies that other states have implemented. Through NCHRP project 20-68, two domestic scan tours were conducted as a pilot effort in 2006. Based on their initial success, several additional scans were initiated, including eight launched in 2007 and 2008. Among those, six were completed by the end of 2009. To measure how well the U.S. Domestic Scan program is meeting its stated goals, a parallel effort (funded through NCHRP project 20-68B(02), and the subject of this report) was undertaken to document the technology transfer and implementation activities resulting from each tour. This project sought to measure the first- and second-hand impacts of the first six scan tours in the U.S. Domestic Scan program. The project aimed to make observations and note trends among the scans; discover successes of and obstacles to the technology transfer and implementation efforts; and make recommendations for future scans to promote more effective implementation. For each scan, information was gathered by online surveys, webinars, and telephone interviews. For each scan, the information collected through these channels appears as a separate chapter of this report. Each chapter includes a summary overview and analysis followed by documentation of the surveys, webinar and interview results. The final chapter of this report describes ongoing efforts related to the U.S. Domestic Scan program website, http://domesticscan.org, which was developed as part of NCHRP project 20-68B.
