Peer Exchanges

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) offered peer exchanges for interested Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and local transportation agencies on Digital As-Builts (DABs) as part of the Every Day Counts 6 (EDC-6) Initiative. The FHWA facilitated the peer exchange planning, coordination, and event facilitation and covered travel costs for eligible participants for in-person exchanges. Peer Exchanges under the EDC-6 Initiative were completed in 2023.

Virtual or in-person DABs exchanges are uniquely designed to provide technology transfer and deliver technical assistance to agencies that facilitate the implementation of DABs, while affording an opportunity to exchange knowledge and resources between lead states and exploring states. Lead states have experience using DABs technologies, while exploring states are interested in developing and implementing processes and practices, pilots, and DABs technologies at their agencies.

Peer exchanges highlighted implementation and best practices of evolving technology, and other opportunities to support the deployment of DABs.
