Leave room for PIE! Post-implementation evaluation (PIE) gives you a chance to learn from past efforts to make better future decisions. The benefits may be self-evident, but with constraints like data quality, staff hesitation, and complex analysis needs, it can be difficult to make the case to take the step forward. NCHRP Research Report 1184: Post-Implementation Evaluation of Transportation Projects: A Guide, produced by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program, is intended to demystify, promote, and support the adoption of PIE by providing an eight-step implementation framework. An evaluation tool, roadmap, implementation plan, and briefing presentation template are all available, as is NCHRP Web-Only Document 453: Post-Implementation Evaluation of Transportation Projects: Conduct of Research.

Such planning has reduced wildlife–vehicle collisions by 80 to 90 percent in targeted areas while supporting the movement of species ranging from moose and elk to amphibians and fish. Read more!
