South Dakota DOT Peer ExchangeThe South Dakota Department of Transportation (SDDOT) hosted a virtual peer exchange from
December 9-11, 2024 to address challenges and best practices for transportation research
program management with other state departments of transportation (DOTs). The event focused
on three primary topics: project idea solicitation, project management, and post-project tracking
and evaluation. Participants of the multi-day event included staff from SDDOT, six other state
transportation agencies (Florida, Idaho, Minnesota, Missouri, North Dakota, and New Mexico),
and the Federal Highway Administration. Participants shared their strategies and insights from
their own programs, and identified strengths and opportunities for SDDOT.
