Enhancing the Culture of Innovation in a Department of Transportation

摘要

Effective innovation deployment is important because delay during implementation can have adverse consequences that include wasted labor, wasted energy, and wasted material resources. Enhancing the culture of innovation combined with clear performance standards at Minnesota DOT will improve our ability to maintain roadways and other transportation assets across Minnesota. Better performing roadways are expected to increase the public’s confidence in our stewardship and increase the public’s willingness to provide additional transportation investment through increased taxes.
