A statewide modeling peer exchange was hosted by Ohio Department of Transportation in Columbus, Ohio on June 15-16, 2022. About 62 participants attended the event either in-person or virtually, including representatives of State DOTs, FHWA, TRB, and other organizations. The peers included California Department of Transportation (Caltrans), Colorado DOT, Delaware DOT, Florida DOT, Georgia DOT, Illinois DOT, Iowa DOT, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KTC), Michigan DOT, Ohio DOT, Oregon DOT, Texas DOT, Virginia DOT, and Wisconsin DOT. During the peer exchange, each peer shared a State report on Statewide Modeling (Appendix C) and presented on their statewide model.
The peer exchange featured five main sessions:
- State DOT presentations on modeling status, data collection, and interactions with national
data; - National presentations from Federal staff and other representatives on Federal activities to
support and improve statewide modeling; - A facilitated discussion of State DOT needs for improving statewide models;
- Breakout groups to discuss and develop needs statements for identified statewide modeling
topics; and - A wrap-up discussion, including next steps.
