Resource Summary: The objective of this paper from the American Society of Civil Engineers is to develop a conceptual framework that explains the implications and corresponding strategies of changes for state transportation agencies (STAs) to ensure long-term satisfactory performance in the area of construction. The researchers used their collective knowledge to identify key drivers of change, which were then used to develop strategies to meet the future needs of STAs.
