Process of Site Selection for Handbook on Benefits of Regional Transportation Collaboration

Five University of Virginia Systems Engineering students worked in partnership with Science Applications International Corporation (SAIC) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to develop a handbook detailing agency benefits from regional transportation collaboration. The UVa students were responsible for devising site selection metrics and tangible benefits metrics, applying the metrics to rank and select a list of sites, interviewing these sites, and finally presenting the data for the eventual incorporation into a handbook. This report details the methodology used in selecting the interview sites and the creation of the tangible benefits and preliminary interview strategy
