The 2017 NJDOT Peer Exchange was held on October 3-5th in Trenton, New Jersey. The panelists included state DOT UAS leaders from Delaware, Kansas, Massachusetts, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania, as well as UAS leaders from the FAA, New Jersey State Police, and the NJ State Forest Fire Service. The Peer Exchange was intended to share UAS experiences, research, and best practices among the panelists. Each state presented an overview of their UAS initiatives and explained the rationale and “lessons learned” in developing their program.
