On Budget and On Time

State departments of transportation (DOTS) have had to reconsider their ways of doing business. The DOTs had money and projects, but not enough qualified people to do the work. The Transportation Research Board's Design-Build Task Force and the Management and Productivity Committee cosponsored a session at the 2004 TRB Annual Meeting to consider solutions. Specialists in personnel management and professionals in project management and construction examined the importance of people in completing projects on budget and on time, smoothly and successfully.
