Re-Creating NETC

Project Objectives

The research objectives of this project include:

  • Perform a robust self-evaluation of NETC, incorporating steps to improve the effectiveness of NETC.
  • Conduct a Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats (SWOT) analyses to engage Transportation Agency Advisory Committee members in discussions examining the internal and external factors that are expected to impact NETC’s continued effectiveness in executing its research program.
  • Distribute online surveys to two member groups: NETC transportation agency managers and implementers, and NETC agency subject matter experts.
  • Distribute additional online surveys to pooled fund consortiums, university transportation centers) and cooperative research programs to gather information about administering a research program, selecting and prioritizing research, managing research projects, implementing research and communicating research results.
  • Discuss possible actions NETC could take and move toward consensus on the types of changes NETC could pursue.

17-2 Quick Response: Quantification of Research Benefits

Project Objectives

  • Implement or adapt the MnDOT research project Benefit Estimation Tool for 2-3 NETC projects.
  • Develop detailed guidelines to identify and gather the inputs required for the benefit categories of these projects.
