This document describes the research and methods used to develop NCHRP Report 814: Data to Support Transportation Agency Business Needs: A Self-Assessment Guide. The guide provides methods to evaluate and improve the value of transportation agency data for decision making and transportation agency data-management practices. In order to develop a meaningful data self-assessment approach for transportation agencies, the project team conducted interviews with transportation agency executives and conducted focus groups at five state departments of transportation (DOTs). Input from these activities was used to develop an initial set of assessment tools. These tools were tested at two state DOTs. Based on the results of these tests, the tools were refined and a detailed Guide was prepared that provides a step-by-step approach for agencies wishing to conduct data self-assessment. Additional products of this project include a set of presentation slides that can be used to brief agency executives and managers on the purpose, benefits and content of the assessment, and a flyer providing a summary of the process.
