One technology transfer mechanism used by some Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) technology transfer (T2) centers is the electronic bulletin board. Through the use of a transportation-related electronic bulletin board system (EBBS), one can obtain public domain software, send and receive messages and announcements, learn about publication listings, and access other resources of transportation and traffic engineering knowledge. The success of an EBBS as a mechanism for technology transfer depends on the computer fluency of potential users, system maintenance and reliability, the cost of access, and the quality of products and marketing. The results of a research project that evaluated the performance of five transportation-related EBBSs operated by LTAP T2 centers are described. Information was collected from T2 centers through interviews and raw bulletin board system log files. Utilization models that quantify the T2 center EBBS experience are presented. This experience base can be used to establish guidelines for similar EBBSs in other public works sectors.
