The Evolution of Knowledge Management at Airports
2024-07-24 18:00 - 19:30
TRB Webinar: The Evolution of Knowledge Management at Airports
Industry-wide, airports are experiencing disruptive and continuous changes that include the rapid introduction of new technology, financial constraints, retirements, and the need to replace seasoned veterans. These changes are compounded by a diminishing pipeline of individuals interested in working at airports. While the term “knowledge management” is not in widespread use at airports, many are already applying techniques, such as documenting standard operating procedures or conducting after-action reviews following airport disruptions. Knowledge management (KM) is a well-established discipline for creating, capturing, sharing, and leveraging essential knowledge needed for success. Without tasking these deliberate steps, airports may face reduced efficiency, degradation of customer service, and increased vulnerability to business and operational interruptions. TRB will host a webinar on Wednesday, July 24, 2024 from 2:00 PM to 3:30 PM Eastern that will provide practical approaches and solutions that any airport can use to facilitate active and continuous knowledge management.
This webinar is based on ACRP Research Report 258: The Evolution of Knowledge Management at Airports https://nap.nationalacademies.org/catalog/27399/the-evolution-of-knowledge-management-at-airports .
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Airport Cooperative Research Program.
There is no fee to attend this webinar. Registration is required.
A recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
Webinar agenda and presenters
* Overview of the report – Frances Harrison, Spy Pond Partners
* KM and challenges at airports – Ann Richart, Washington State Department of Transportation
* Best practices for continuous KM – Jeanette Saunders, Airport Minority Advisory Council
* Question and answer session moderated by Frances Harrison, Spy Pond Partners
The first 60 minutes of the webinar will be for presentations and the final 30 minutes will be reserved for audience questions.
Learning Objectives
At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
* Mitigate the loss of institutional knowledge using KM when employees change jobs or retire
* Explore how to prepare for and respond to emerging trends
* Ensure continuity of operations and how to maximize effectiveness and efficient use of resources

U.S. DOT Project Delivery Center of Excellence Thought Leadership Series: Making Good on the Potential of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
2024-09-18 17:00 - 18:00
Since the passage of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (BIL), a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rebuild our nation’s infrastructure, every state and region of this country has seen historic federal investments announced in roads and bridges, ports and airports, and trains and transit. The Biden-Harris Administration has announced nearly $454 billion in BIL funding since its passage in 2021, including over 56,000 specific projects and awards across over 4,500 communities in all 50 states, D.C., and the territories and for Tribes.
While many of the economic benefits of the legislation will play out over the coming years and decades, job gains in construction industries suggest that some benefits have already begun to emerge. In addition, because of strong investment in transportation and infrastructure and the construction and manufacturing that goes with it, we are in the midst of an extraordinary and, by many measures, unprecedented period of economic growth.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg launched the U.S. DOT Project Delivery Center of Excellence in the summer of 2023. At the kickoff of a U.S. DOT thought leadership series on Delivering the Benefits of the BIL https://www.volpe.dot.gov/project-delivery-center-excellence/delivering-benefits-bipartisan-infrastructure-law , Secretary Buttigieg stated that many of the 800 participants linking in from across the transportation enterprise were a part of the story of the passage of the monumental BIL. “And now, it’s time to be part of the story of how we make good on its potential,” he said.
U.S. DOT is committed to partnering with federal, Tribal governments, state, and local project sponsors to speed up project delivery and thereby maximize and accelerate the benefits of BIL. The Project Delivery Center of Excellence is one of the critical tools U.S. DOT is using to achieve such success.

The Biden-Harris Administration has announced nearly $454 billion in BIL funding since its passage in 2021, including over 56,000 specific projects and awards across over 4,500 communities in all 50 states, D.C., and the territories and for Tribes.
While many of the economic benefits of the legislation will play out over the coming years and decades, job gains in construction industries suggest that some benefits have already begun to emerge. In addition, because of strong investment in transportation and infrastructure and the construction and manufacturing that goes with it, we are in the midst of an extraordinary and, by many measures, unprecedented period of economic growth.
U.S. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg launched the U.S. DOT Project Delivery Center of Excellence in the summer of 2023. At the kickoff of a U.S. DOT thought leadership series on Delivering the Benefits of the BIL https://www.volpe.dot.gov/project-delivery-center-excellence/delivering-benefits-bipartisan-infrastructure-law , Secretary Buttigieg stated that many of the 800 participants linking in from across the transportation enterprise were a part of the story of the passage of the monumental BIL. “And now, it’s time to be part of the story of how we make good on its potential,” he said.
U.S. DOT is committed to partnering with federal, Tribal governments, state, and local project sponsors to speed up project delivery and thereby maximize and accelerate the benefits of BIL. The Project Delivery Center of Excellence is one of the critical tools U.S. DOT is using to achieve such success.
