Implementation Team
About the team:
The Implementation Team works to identify “early adopters” who can champion the adoption of research recommendations that enhance VDOT’s operations and efficiency.
Core services include:
-
Participating with each Research Advisory Committee to evaluate the implementation potential of all proposed research and technical assistance projects
-
Collaborating with VTRC researchers, Associate Directors, and project champions to:
-
Develop implementation projects
-
Identify early adopters
-
Support early adopters in resolving operational issues and validating new technologies
-
-
Transferring research-developed technologies into agency practice
-
Seeking opportunities to implement technologies or business practices that improve VDOT operations
-
Managing the implementation budget
-
Working with research professionals to communicate implementation successes.
