2006 CEO Leadership Forum: Advancing Practice in State DOTs from Good to Great: A Summary Report

Building on the success of forums held in 2000 and 2003, the Center for Transportation Studies (CTS) conducted this third CEO Leadership Forum September 24 through 26, 2006, at the University of Minnesota, in association with the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), and the Transportation Research Board (TRB). Funding support was provided by the National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP).

The forum offered state department of transportation (DOT) chief executive officers (CEOs) and their top staff the opportunity to share experiences--good and bad--with peers from around the country. The discussions centered on three themes: 1) Roles and partnerships, 2) Customers and stakeholders, and 3) Funding and finance.
