4. SHRP2 Implementation Overview
108 projects underway in 34 states with more to start following today’s announcement of Round 2 incentives
2013 has been a pretty exciting year for us. We have seen a real ramp up in activities to implement SHRP2 at the Federal AND state level. FHWA/AASHTO’s Implementation Assistance is moving expertise and funds into 34 states to begin implementing six SHRP2 Solutions. More than 108 projects are underway and we are already getting important feedback.
PHOTO EXPLANATION: California has a User Incentive award to reduce animal/vehicle collisions along Highway 89; as a lead adopter, Michigan DOT is building a Regional Ecosystem Framework to reduce impacts of the reconstruction of I-75 along Lake Erie; Idaho Department of Transportation is working with the Idaho Department of Fish and Game to develop compatible on-line data sets that can be used by Federal, state, and local agencies, environmental and non-profit groups.
And, (drum roll please), hot off the presses, FHWA and AASHTO are today announcing the recipients of Round 2 assistance. You have a handout with all the details.
As a result, XX states and XXX more projects will soon be using SHRP2 Solutions.

5. Prioritizing States’ Needs
AASHTO’s role is focused on identifying which products meet the states’ practical needs
We are relying on members and committees to define how implementation can be successful
FHWA is our partner in this effort.
AASHTO’s role continues to focus on identifying which products meet the states’ practical needs.
We are relying on members and committees to define WHAT implementation is and HOW it can be successful. Our members have the on-the-ground experience that is so crucial to determining the most effective use of these products and we at AASHTO along with our partners at FHWA and TRB are looking to leverage that experience during the implementation phase.

6. Revised SHRP2 Implementation Plan 2012 - 2015
Original plan updated to reflect new funding provided by federal legislation and state contributions
New plan includes highest priority products
Products by year:
2012 = 7 new products
