SHRP2 CapacityStrategic Implementation Plan

Why a Strategic Plan?

• Group similar projects and plan for implementation together– Make better use of implementation planning

workshop participants’ time– Identify linkages for the implementation process to

use resources efficiently• Create consistency across capacity focus

area– Implementation goals that can be applied to each

product

Strategic Plan Process

“Strawman” bundles and

Your Role: Discussion

Looking at 2014 and Beyond• As a State DOT:

– What are your DOT priorities?– How can these SHRP2 Solutions help you address

these priorities?– What’s your capacity to take on these products?

• As SCOP:- What role do you wish to play?- How can FHWA/AASHTO best benefit from your

expertise and guidance?
