NCHRP Implementation Support Program. Helping MPOs and State DOTs Implement Innovative Strategies from NCHRP Research Report 1002

NCHRP Research Report 1002: Metropolitan Planning Organizations: Strategies for Future Success is a practical resource for state departments of transportation (DOTs) and their metropolitan planning organization (MPO) partners to help address their evolving roles and face many of the challenges of the 21st century. It provides effective strategies for adaptation and improvement in a wide range of MPOs, varying in size, structure, resources, and regional context. NCHRP Research Report 1002 also offers important guidance for MPOs on addressing issues in the post-COVID era. The topics and solutions discussed in Chapter 3, "Toolkit for the 21st Century," suggest successful approaches to emerging practices that can enhance the performance of MPOs across the United States. However, because the descriptions in the toolkit focus on general principles and concepts, it is important to operationalize these solutions within real MPO initiatives to demonstrate how the findings are replicable in a practical MPO setting. Therefore, an initial implementation effort is necessary to provide a strong foundation for incorporating NCHRP Research Report 1002 and to help state DOT and MPO staff understand and consider the most effective strategies for their jurisdiction or situation. The objective of this project is to develop innovative activities and resources to achieve greater adoption of the research results of NCHRP Research Report 1002 by state DOTs and MPOs.
