MDOT Virtual Research Development Meetings
The Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Research Program Development Meetings, open to all, will be held virtually via Microsoft Teams next week (May 9-13). These meetings are a way for Michigan Tech, MDOT and other transportation stakeholders to identify research opportunities and collaborate on projects which address MDOT’s strategic priorities.
During the Research Program Development Meetings, MDOT will further develop the approved research ideas for the 2023, 2024 and 2025 research program.
In addition to the traditional transportation topics, new fields of interest to MDOT include: finance, aviation and socio-economics.
The full meeting agenda and links to each meeting are available online.
MDOT has also provided an introductory video explaining the process of the development meetings, proposal schedule and how projects are evaluated and selected.
The Michigan Tech Transportation Institute (MTTI) encourages participation in these online discussions to help shape MDOT research needs and identify potential sources for funding.
