The Northeast region in particular was significantly impacted\, with many structural shifts in how people work\, travel\, and play still in place today despite rising vaccination rates. From declines in public transit ridership to supply chain delays and workforce shortages across multiple industries\, the region is confronting a new era of transportation challenges as it moves into 2022. New opportunities are arising as well\, such as the proposed infrastructure bill that represents a substantial investment in roadways\, bridges\, and transportation infrastructure not seen on such a large scale in decades.\nDr. James W. Hughes\, dean emeritus of the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy at Rutgers and a CAIT researcher has been tracking economic recovery from COVID-19 and its impact on transportation\, demographic shifts\, and more throughout the pandemic. In this free webinar\, he will discuss these trends that transportation is facing\, opportunities\, and what the “new” normal might look like as we head into the new year.\nKey Takeaways:\n * Review latest economic trends stemming from the pandemic and how they are shifting transportation\n * Discuss what structural changes might be here to stay over the long-term\n * Learn about new opportunities that could help foster economic recovery and support transportation and infrastructure \nRegister Now https://cait.rutgers.edu/event/cait-seminar-series-covid-19-and-the-economic-factors-shaping-transportation-and-recovery-in-2022/ URL:https://njdottechtransfer.net/event/cait-seminar-series-covid-19-and-the-economic-factors-shaping-transportation-and-recovery-in-2022/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211207T134500 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211209T180000 DTSTAMP:20260410T165049 CREATED:20251205T200107Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T200107Z UID:21286-1638884700-1639072800@njdottechtransfer.net SUMMARY:The 2021 Moving Together Conference DESCRIPTION:2021 Virtual Moving Together Conference\n• Attend workshops and panels that highlight current pedestrian\, bicyclist and public transportation topics \n• Network with colleagues representing diverse interests from the public\, academic and private sectors \n• All new site visits and mobile workshops led by engineers and bicyclist/pedestrian advocates. \nLearn about the latest pedestrian\, bicyclist\, and public transportation topics with transportation professionals from across Massachusetts\, the United States\, and Canada including: \nThis year’s conference session tracks will include: \n• Shared Roadway Infrastructure\n• Supporting Our Municipalities\n• Equity in Mobility\n• Safe\, Sustainable Mobility\n• Site Visits \nSafe Streets Smart Trips High School Video Contest \nThis year’s Moving Together conference will feature the eighth annual high school video contest\, Safe Streets Smart Trips (SSST).

The recycled material has a much longer life span than a traditional wooden bridge\, and it also offers positive features for elements encountered in extreme and variable climates. For these reasons the technology has been pursued by Federal Lands Management Agencies (FLMA) including the United States Forest Service (USFS) and United State Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS).\nDuring this webinar the USFS and USFWS will present their experience with thermoplastic technology in bridge construction; highlighting their lessons learned and beneficial properties relative to FLMA bridge maintenance\, including: \n * Highly resistant to cracking and warping;\n * fire resistant;\n * resistant to most acids\, salts\, wood-boring insects\, rot and won’t rust;\n * virtually impervious to water;\n * and maintains structural integrity in humid and wet environments. \nUSFWS Project Manager- “The thermoplastic materials are the environmentally right fit to provide a great bridge with long-term sustainable green technology for the Service.” \nFor questions\, contact Morgan Malley or Andrea Kirk\, Program Managers with FHWA’s Local Aid Support at Morgan.Malley@dot.gov mailto:morgan.malley@dot.gov or Andrea.Kirk@dot.gov mailto:Andrea.Kirk@dot.gov . \nNo registration required.

It has the potential to serve many short- and medium-distance trips—for commuting to and from work and school\, shopping\, and visiting friends—as well as providing recreation and exercise. Cycling promotes physical\, social\, and mental health\, helps reduce car use\, enhances mobility and independence\, and is economical for both public and personal budgets. This presentation explores how to make city cycling safe\, practical\, and convenient for a broad spectrum of ages\, genders\, and abilities. Buehler and Pucher discuss the latest cycling trends and policies around the world and consider specific aspects of cycling. Based on data from 2019-2020 from cities around the world\, they also review the impacts of COVID-19 on cycling levels and government policies to promote cycling. Taken together\, the presentation demonstrates that successful promotion of cycling depends on a coordinated package of mutually supportive infrastructure\, programs\, and policies. Cycling should be made feasible for as many people as possible and not limited to especially fit\, daring\, well-trained cyclists riding expensive bicycles. The talk is based on their recent co-edited book Cycling for Sustainable Cities (MIT Press). \nRegister now https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kXCdeQVPRqOKzLZazbRJUg URL:https://njdottechtransfer.net/event/cycling-for-sustainable-cities-webinar-apa-va/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211111T153000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211112T200000 DTSTAMP:20260410T165049 CREATED:20251205T200052Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T200052Z UID:21279-1636644600-1636747200@njdottechtransfer.net SUMMARY:Fundamentals of Infrastructure & Transportation Asset Management Part 1 DESCRIPTION:The Fundamentals of Infrastructure & Transportation Asset Management Part 1 (FAM) course will cover the Infrastructure & Transportation Asset Management journey over the last 20 years and what we now see as the current and future trajectory of developing a sustainable and scalable asset management program\, and provide students with enough information to develop an asset management program from scratch or allow them to build upon an existing program. The course will be taught by experts from consulting as well as academia\, giving students both theory-based research and development outcomes\, and use cases and best practices that are based on real world examples.\nThe course is designed for the agency-level asset manager\, maintenance manager and engineering consultants\, and will provide all participants with a solid base of understanding of the various elements and stages of building a modern and forward-looking asset management program. \n* This 2-day course kicks off the Infrastructure Asset Management Academy For Engineers and Planners (IAMA) program. For a limited time\, this first course is being offered for free\, and after taking this class students are encouraged to complete the entire IAMA program. Learn more about the academy here. https://cait.rutgers.edu/iama/ \nDay 1: \nDay 1 will take a brief look back at TAM’s origins and will highlight a few key milestones and events that occurred along the way that helped to shape and define TAM into what it has become today and discuss the role that these – and other – events have played in influencing the future TAM trajectory. The background information provided will present the participants with a broad and useful perspective of how asset management has evolved over the previous two decades and will also establish a solid base of understanding that the attendees can leverage as they take the next steps on their TAM journey. \nDay 2: \nDay 2 will focus on several activities that are generally associated with the implementation of a TAM program. These fundamental components are not intended to be a comprehensive account of all TAM business functions\, but rather represent a more simplistic (and realistic) view of important elements of a TAM program that when implemented properly can serve as the foundation and framework for building a sustainable and scalable TAM program. \nAbout Infrastructure Asset Management Academy: \nIAMA https://cait.rutgers.edu/iama/ is a 6-course program taught by experts at CAIT and our industry partners that is designed to provide students with the knowledge\, tools\, and experience needed to make more informed decisions that can help extend the service life\, account for resiliency\, and minimize the risk of their assets\, and to take the next step in their careers. Courses will conveniently be offered virtually\, eliminating the cost and time demands of travel. Students in the program must complete 3 core classes plus 1 supplementary class in order to graduate from the academy and receive a professional development certificate from Rutgers CAIT\, PDH credits\, and a deeper understanding of asset management practices and how to apply them to their organization’s needs. \nRegister Now https://cvent.me/Eg9d99 URL:https://njdottechtransfer.net/event/fundamentals-of-infrastructure-transportation-asset-management-part-1/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20211110T200000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20211110T210000 DTSTAMP:20260410T165049 CREATED:20251205T200052Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251205T200052Z UID:21278-1636574400-1636578000@njdottechtransfer.net SUMMARY:Fall Technical Webinar Series – What You Knew is Changing: MUTCD Update – Part 2 DESCRIPTION:In Session 1 of this series\, we explored some of the responses to the current Notice of Proposed Amendments (NPA) for the 11th Edition of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). ITE’s response (available here) https://bit.ly/ITECommentsNPAMUTCD includes a call for FHWA to consider the needs of all users\, to provide greater flexibility and opportunities to innovate\, and encouragement to take a forward-looking posture with the Manual. The responses from other organizations reviewing the proposed changes such as NACTO https://nacto.org/program/modernizing-federal-standards/ have been much more adamant regarding the call to substantially reframe the MUTCD to create a safe and sustainability-first document. What does this mean to you? How might this effort lead to changes of subsequent changes to (12th Edition) MUTCD?

However\, automated vehicles cameras take images so fast that they catch LEDs in the refreshing state leaving a dark image or distorted image. To address this\, finding the right balance in specifications for both the LED used in DMS and highway traffic signals and the camera speeds has the attention of IEEE\, NEMA\, ATSSA\, NCUTCD and AASHTO. At the same time\, updates to NEMA TS-4 (which guides DMS) are underway looking and consolidation and unification of definitions for changeable message signs\, dynamic message signs\, variable message signs\, hybrid signs and blank-out signs. All of this has emerged in 2011 and is leading to new guidance for designers and well as system planners in terms of specifications and jargon for the industry. Join the co-chairs of the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices Connected and Automated Vehicle Joint Task Force Signs Working Group for a discussion on how this affects not only DMS but traffic control signal displays\, vehicle turn signals and any LED application.\nHost: Ryan Zellers https://www.linkedin.com/in/ryan-zellers-02002770/ \, Department Manager – Traffic Engineering\, Michael Baker International\, Western District Advertising Manager \nPanel:\nRandy McCourt https://www.linkedin.com/in/randymccourt/ \, ITE International Past President\, Co-Chair of the NCUTCD Signs working group\, Connected-Automated Vehicles Joint Task Force (moderator)\nRoxane Mukai https://www.linkedin.com/in/roxane-mukai-903089121/ \, Co-Chair of the NCUTCD Signs working group\, Connected-Automated Vehicles Joint Task Force \nInstructions to complete the PDH process: \nVisit http://www.pathlms.com/ite/courses/36803 https://www.pathlms.com/ite/courses/36803 www.pathlms.com/ite/courses/36803 to submit your PDHs.

These are linked to the business case for a value capture technique through the allocation of costs and risks. This chapter explains how policy makers at the State and local level can achieve alignment of their policy objectives with the business and financial case for value capture techniques. It also discusses how this process can be enhanced through involving stakeholders in the planning process. Making the business and economic case for value capture to generate new funding for transportation infrastructure projects and programs is ultimately about establishing a clear and direct nexus between the transportation projects and real estate developments that emerge or benefit from transportation project investments. To maximize VC monetization potential\, an effective VC strategy is to start early during project planning and public involvement phases and well in advance of right-of-way acquisition and project procurement. Making the VC business case is also about developing a strategy to strengthen and preserve the VC negotiating leverage with developers early in the planning stage FHWA will roll out the Value Capture Strategies: Making the Business and Economic Case —A Primer designed to demonstrate how local and regional agencies tasked with providing infrastructure can make the business and economic (B/E) case for using one or more VC techniques to address increasing funding challenges. The objective is to build capacity of understanding Value Capture Strategies\, for consideration and implementation of revenue options\, and value capture tools as part of a mix of funding and financing strategies in long-range plans. The webinar features experts discussing best practices and reviewing case studies for building the case for value capture. Registration is free but is limited\, register now to reserve your space!
