Local governments are at the front lines of transportation system operations - working across public works, police, fire, and transportation departments to operate and maintain local streets and roads. Unlike transportation districts, local governments are general-purpose governments with cross-departmental insights and knowledge needs. And unlike state departments of transportation, local governments do not have in-house or on-call transportation researchers. This project aims to serve local government stakeholders on their knowledge needs related to new mobility and automated vehicles by engaging those stakeholders, identifying knowledge needs and producing and disseminating quality and effective research-based information.Outcomes & Deliverables
A researcher-staffed help desk for fielding local government stakeholder knowledge needs on new mobility and automated vehicles. Creation and publishing of a knowledge base and structured data to address frequently-asked questions. Production and promotion of webinars, workshops, and surveys to identify knowledge needs and disseminate information.
