Board of Directors
The Smart Work Zone Deployment Initiative Board of Directors (BOD) is comprised of representatives from cooperating states with non-voting members from the Federal Highway Administration and is responsible for developing problem statements describing the highest priority issues related to work zone safety and mobility.
Each program year, members of the BOD, vendors, and researchers submit ideas for proposed research studies. Following a review of the submitted topics and products by the BOD, request for proposals (RFPs) are distributed to interested university researchers in pooled fund states. Researchers submit proposals and work plans to the BOD for prioritization and selection of projects to be included in the next year’s work plan based on anticipated benefits and available funding.
