Demonstration and Deployment Forum
The Demonstration and Deployment Forum (DDF) aims to foster exchange wherein Center researchers will interact with transportation practitioners, including private and public sector experts, to discuss opportunities to move CR2C2 research to practice.
Through this forum, CR2C2 organizes events that allow state DOT representatives as well as public and private sector practitioners to share results of (or plans for) pilot programs to stimulate ideas on how CR2C2’s transformative research concepts can be transitioned to practice.
If interested in learning more about the DDF, please email Dr. Steven Jones - CR2C2's TTC Director.
