 Alignment on needs and priorities.
• How does the project align with NCDOT's mission, vision, and values to:
• Connect people, products, and places safely and efficiently.
• Support cost savings through better use of infrastructure and resources.
• Promote the development and use of new and better solutions.
• Provide reliable data, analyses, and tools to inform best practices.
 Real-world transportation problems in search of solutions.
 Assembling the right team – project champion, internal & external stakeholders, SMEs.
• Designated point of contact.
• Guidance, oversight, and course correction from stakeholders.
 Frequent, consistent communication.
 Strategic "building block" approach.
 Tracking outcomes and lessons learned.
Example: Emerging Technologies for Public Transportation

• How can connected and automated vehicles (CAV) be used for public transportation?
• What are the capabilities and limitations of CAV for public transportation?
• How can the technology be developed to better serve riders with different needs and
in different environments?
• General population, paratransit
• Fixed route & circulator, on-demand & curb-to-curb
• Urban, suburban, rural
Assess emerging technology to determine if it meets transportation needs and can be
integrated and scaled as an option in the existing transportation system.
