Objectives

AASHTO Research Advisory Committee Region 1 presents this Transportation Pooled Fund initiative to enhance collaboration among member states.  The purpose is to provide a method for Peer Exchange support annually.

 

  1. Plan and conduct Northeast Transportation Research Consortium (NTRC) meetings to identify priorities and opportunities for peer exchange planning purposes.
  2. Conduct an annual multi-state peer exchange for up to three (3) NTRC member state hosts on topics of their choosing, in which each host state will need written approval from their respective FHWA Division office.

Scope of Work

We anticipate using the funds to acquire a contractor who will be responsible for leading the organization of an annual peer exchange, meeting and travel logistics for participants, facilitation, writing the peer exchange report, and pooled fund documentation.  Each year’s host states will play a large role in the pre-exchange planning and organization.

 

Comments

We are looking for a minimum annual contribution of $8000/year.  This will cover travel for one person to attend the peer exchange.  States can contribute $10,000/year to cover the expenses of two travelers.  Refunds of money at the end of the pooled fund will be based on total funds contributed, not the number of peer exchange participants.
