Abstract
On September 24, 2024, seven lead States gathered for a peer exchange in Chesterfield, Missouri, and discussed their activities in advancing Balanced Mix Design (BMD) implementation. The peer exchange was sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The peer exchange provided an opportunity for lead States to share their implementation status, lessons learned, and challenges encountered. The State participants also explored strategies to further enhance BMD adoption. This report summarizes key discussions of selected topics and highlights major outcomes of the peer exchange, including main takeaways, effective practices, and critical challenges identified by the lead States for implementing BMD.
