What is SHRP2?
Tools to save lives, save money, save time.
• Products developed from objective, credible
research
• Solutions that respond to challenges of the
transportation community – safety, aging
infrastructure, congestion
• Collaborative effort of AASHTO, FHWA, and TRB
• Tested products, refined in the field
SHRP2 Solutions offer new technologies and processes to enhance the
efficiency of transportation agencies

Focus Areas
Safety: fostering safer driving through analysis of
driver, roadway and vehicle factors in crashes,
near crashes, and ordinary driving
Renewal: rapid maintenance and repair of the
deteriorating infrastructure using already-available
resources, innovations and technologies
Reliability: reducing congestion and creating more
predictable travel times through better operations
Capacity: planning and designing a highway
system that offers minimum disruption and meets
the environmental, and economic needs of the
community

Implementation Assistance
Levels of Engagement
Proof of Concept Pilot
• Funds for piloting products to evaluate readiness for implementation
• Contractor support to collect data and evaluate the application
Lead Adopter Incentive
• Funds for early adopters to offset implementation cost and mitigate risks
• Recipients required to provide specific deliverables designed to further refine the
product, and possibly “champion” the product to other States and localities.
User Incentive
• Funds for implementation support activities after early adopter use
• Used to conduct internal assessments, build capacity, implement system process
changes, organize peer exchanges, or offset other implementation costs

Reliability Focus Area
Management and technical tools to improve traffic
operations and reduce congestion; managing
nonrecurring events to create more predictable travel
times.
Products address:
Monitoring and management of travel-time reliability (TTR); reliability in
planning, programming, and geometric design; coordinated incident
management; organizing transportation agencies to improve reliability
and prepare for future needs.
Benefits:
• Predictable travel times
• Reduced congestion
• Improved safety through rapid incident resolution

Organizing to Improve Operations
Problem
• Many transportation agencies are not effectively operating and managing
the transportation system, particularly during events such as adverse
weather, crashes, work zones, and special events, leading to unreliable
travel times
• Agencies need better tools to effectively address sources of unreliability
Solution
Comprehensive approach for:
• Evaluating organizational capabilities and business processes
• Developing a tailored action plan to optimize systems operations
• Systematically applying process changes for the greatest gains

Organizing for Reliability Tools
Implementation Plan Goals
• Goal 1
– By December 2013, 15 to 20 State DOTs and larger MPOs will be
identified and committed to applying the SHRP2 Organizing for
Reliability Tools
• Goal 2
– By December 2014, all the selected State DOTs and large MPOs will
have their action plans developed
• Goal 3
– By December 2015, a framework will be established that will lead to
nationwide adoption
• Goal 4
– By December 2016, all selected State DOTs and Large MPOs will have
completed their two year implementation of their action plans

Four-Step Process
• Outreach
⁻ Creating awareness and interest in developing and sustaining
operations as a core business function
• Assessment
– Analyzing needs and potential business process strategies to
address key organization issues and institutional gaps
impacting travel time reliability
• Development
– Creating an action plan with specific steps to improve
operational efficiency and effectiveness
• Implementation
– Implementing action plan and measuring progress
