Peer exchanges

To help WisDOT staff learn from other agencies' best practices, Research provides planning and logistical support, travel expenses, and reporting services for WisDOT-hosted peer exchanges.

What is a peer exchange?

  • Two- to four-day conference in Madison hosted by WisDOT
  • Gathering of WisDOT staff, peers from other states (five to seven) and FHWA
  • Presentations, discussions, roundtables--an intense and rewarding information exchange

Peer exchanges are available to the entire department. Topics have included vehicle titling issues, real estate issues, indirect and cumulative impacts of transportation projects, Disadvantaged Business Enterprise programs, and research management. 
 

Request a peer exchange
Contact a Research representative anytime at research@dot.state.wi.us or (608) 267-6977 to request a research-supported peer exchange that will address your group's current challenges. Planning takes about four months, and the exchanges can happen any time of year.
