APPENDIX B
Results of Survey Questionnaire
Process to Select States to Be Interviewed
Step 1
Five functional areas were defined for each Department of Transportation: 1 - Planning, 2 - Design, 3 -
Procurement, 4 - Construction, and 5 - Operations and Maintenance.
Step 2
Each functional area was requested to indicate the format used to "Receive", "Proceeding/Generate," and "Sent"
data. The format options included: 1- Most always digital--Most never paper, 2 - Frequently digital--Seldom
Paper, 3 - Approximately equal amounts of digital & paper, 4 - Frequently paper--Seldom Digital, and 5 - Most
always paper--Most never digital.
Step 3
Each of the responses from the five functional areas was given the "Digital" values presented below. It is
important to highlight that this was done to be able to quantitatively compare the answers among the states.
1 - Most always digital--Most never paper 100% Digital
2 - Frequently digital--Seldom paper 75% Digital
3 - Approximately equal amounts of digital & paper 50% Digital
4 - Frequently paper--Seldom Digital 25% Digital
5 - Most always paper--Most never digital 0% Digital
Step 4
Each of the answers from the five functional areas from each state was multiplied by its corresponding "digital"
value and added together. It is worth noting that if a division did NOT answer the survey a default value of "0"
was given to the answers from the division.
Step 5
The top ranked based on "digital" values were short-listed for further investigation. Additionally, the input from
the panel was used to decide the departments of transportation that were going to be interviewed.
See Table B1 and Figures B1 through B12 for survey results.
