The NCHRP 20-68 Domestic Scan Program report explores effective strategies for innovation exchange among state Departments of Transportation (DOTs). This comprehensive program identifies key steps to facilitate knowledge sharing, highlights the impact of personal contacts, and analyzes various scan types. With a focus on innovation networks and dissemination techniques, the report aims to enhance collaboration and save costs through successful implementation of cutting-edge ideas. Join us in advancing maintenance practices while fostering a community of innovators.
