No Boundaries Transportation Maintenance Innovations: Phase IV

State departments of transportation (DOTs) are continually challenged to provide their customers with a high level of service despite tightening financial resources and staffing challenges. Innovation is the key to achieving more with less. By identifying and implementing innovative tools, technologies and practices, DOTs can get a job done faster, better and more cost-effectively and in many cases, safer. The No Boundaries pooled fund is dedicated to helping states save time and money on all aspects of their maintenance-related activities by promoting the adaptation, implementation and broader use of successful strategies, and facilitating opportunities that encourage collaboration and transfer of innovative technologies. Over the first three phases of the No Boundaries Transportation Maintenance Innovations pooled fund spanning 13 years, member states have benefited from the real-world experiences and knowledge of transportation maintenance peers who have sought to solve similar challenges. In Phase IV, No Boundaries will continue to assist in and accelerate the successful technology and innovation transfer among state DOTs. The Colorado Department of Transportation will serve as lead state and work with other member agencies to streamline the transfer of tried and tested innovations and avoid potential pitfalls that can be time-consuming and costly. OBJECTIVES: The fourth phase of No Boundaries build upon its work to facilitate and support successful tech transfer of maintenance-related innovations among member states. These efforts will include hosting a twice-yearly in-person peer exchange for state representatives to meet and address their challenges and innovative maintenance solutions, supporting a variety of additional opportunities for learning and exchanging knowledge and developing marketing plans and case studies to document and highlight stories of successful tech transfer. In addition, No Boundaries will continue to build and maintain a searchable online database where maintenance innovations can be found and showcased by all state transportation agencies.
