Project Description:
The proposed Illinois HSM Lead State Peer to Peer Workshop will be held in Schaumburg, IL at the IDOT District 1 office. The tasks include the
following: (1) identify 10 to 13 state highway agencies that are taking a lead role in implementing the HSM and are willing to share their
experiences with other states; (2) convene an initial peer-exchange meeting involving 10 IDOT Central Office representatives, 3 representatives
from each of the IDOT districts and selected states and other experts familiar with HSM development and implementation; and (3) identify best
practices and challenges to implementation and prepare a final report documenting the findings.
The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) will coordinate and assist in facilitating this HSM Workshop. UIUC will be responsible for
establishing and maintaining a web site for the Workshop, coordinating transportation and lodging, and payment of all conference related expenses
(unless defined in this proposal letter). UIUC will also be responsible for preparation of the proceedings, video-taping and voice recording of the
entire workshop, supporting the IT and other presentation needs, and preparing the final report after the event. IDOT's Bureau of Safety Engineering
will oversee the Workshop and assist with the meeting arrangements.
