Guided by themes of equity and resiliency, 218 Consultants conducted research on best practices for building an innovative Department of Transportation (DOT) in Oakland, CA. Recommendations for implementing best practices lie within five sub-topic areas: internal and external coordination, funding, public engagement, project prioritization, and performance management. 218 Consultants recognizes that these are not the only topics relevant to the success of an innovative DOT; nonetheless, each is individually important and an opportunity for innovation, and their collective impact will help the DOT develop effective, proactive transportation solutions.
