Abstract
The current literature regarding technology transfer is first reviewed in this paper to provide a context for a detailed consideration of the washington state department of transportation's (wsdot's) technology transfer program. Interviews were conducted with wsdot managers to gather information on existing practices and thoughts on improvements. Information from the literature review and interviews provides the basis for a new model of technology transfer for the wsdot.
