  1. Critical Issues in Transportation for 2024 and Beyond
    Critical Issues in Transportation: 2024 and Beyond calls for reassessing the role of transportation in addressing major societal challenges and the research that informs the choices that society will need to make in 2024 and coming years. This reassessment is driven by large-scale environmental, public health, and socioeconomic forces. The report focuses on five societal goals: 1) Mitigating and responding to climate change, 2) Promoting equity and inclusion, 3) Increasing road safety, 4) Advancing public health, and 5) Building and sustaining a strong, competitive economy. Transportation is essential for achieving all of these societal goals.

  4. Best Practice Resource Guide: Capacity Building Options for DOT Transit Staff: Final Guidebook
    State Department of Transportation (DOT) transit offices face emerging, critical program management challenges: managing adequate staffing, increasing regulatory burdens, and inconsistent internal and external business practices. DOTs also encounter difficulties in attracting and retaining talented employees, such as the role of new and emerging technology, differing generational expectations, and the time required for DOTs to adapt to change. The NCHRP 20-65/Task 80 project focused on capacity building, or the process of planning for and managing workforce transformation, to develop a broader understanding of capacity building needs and options for state DOT transit offices. The Best Practice Resource Guide includes strategies and tools that state DOT transit offices can use either in their own office or across the DOT to address workforce capacity challenges.

  6. NCHRP Research Report 1072: Telecommuting, Remote Work, and Hybrid Schedules: Managing the Shift to a Flexible Work Future
    Measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic led State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) to rapidly expand their flexible work policies and programs. Agencies are continuing to use flexible work arrangements. This report provides successful practices and identifies key considerations to help state DOTs offer flexible work arrangements in an equitable way that sustains agency effectiveness. It also provides guidelines for measuring performance and productivity in ways that do not rely on in-person supervision. Supplemental to the report are a PowerPoint briefing, an implementation memorandum, a set of one-page work-option descriptions, a Flexible Work Arrangement Tracking tool, and a Telework Suitability tool.

  7. Transportation Workforce Management Playbook
    The transportation workforce gap that began around 2008 is widening as more workers choose retirement over full or part-time transportation-related work. In addition, due to the nation’s workforce demographics, there are fewer workers available to fill the gap created by the increase in retirements. State DOTs are struggling to maintain minimal staffing levels and worker skillsets. The AASHTO Subcommittee on Transportation Workforce Management, sanctioned by the Agency Administration Managing Committee, developed this playbook as a guide for applying workforce management in a state DOT.

  12. Transportation Equity Curriculum: Guidance Document
    The Transportation Equity Curriculum is a joint project of the Center for Urban Transportation Research (CUTR) at the University of South Florida (USF), the University of Wisconsin - Madison, and California Polytechnic State University (CalPoly). It was produced under a grant from the Center for Transportation Equity, Decisions and Dollars (CTEDD) at the University of Texas at Arlington. The objective of this project was to prepare a curriculum on equity for graduate transportation programs (planning, engineering, public policy, etc.) that incorporates active learning techniques. The nine modules in this report address various topics of importance to transportation planning with a targeted focus on equity. The modules are designed to be used in two ways: (1) plug-and-play, to supplement existing classes, and/or (2) as a full course on equity in transportation.
