Transportation Research and Connectivity Pooled Fund Study: Section 508 Training Webinars
2024-10-22 16:00 - 17:30 (America/New_York)
The Transportation Research and Connectivity Pooled Fund Study will be sponsoring webinars on Section 508/Accessibility for research reports on September 17 (12:00 PM – 1:30 PM Eastern) and October 22 (12:00 PM- 1:30 PM Eastern).
These trainings will be geared towards ensuring final research reports (both Word and PDF) meet federal requirements. If you’ve ever had a question about Section 508/Accessibility, or how to implement it for your organization’s reports, these will be the webinars to attend. We encourage librarians, research managers, PIs, student workers, and anyone involved in the remediation of Word or PDF documents to attend. If you are not able to attend, the webinars will be recorded.

Making Good on the Potential of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law
2024-10-22 17:00 - 18:30
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.

What will this webinar cover?
The TIP and STIP are key programming documents that cover near-term investments and identify specific projects and programs for funding. In addition, State Departments of Transportation (DOT) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) play a role in project selection for programs that they administer, and these agencies may incorporate GHG considerations into project selection for these programs.
This webinar will cover information on assessing how TIPs/STIPs can impact GHG emissions and how to incorporate GHG emissions-related criteria into project selection. The webinar will feature three presentations on the topic:
* Catherine Duffy – ICF
* Katrina Kaiser – Caltrans
* Henry Mckay – Caltrans
* Tejas Kotak – Atlanta Regional Commission

December: Expand Your Toolbox: Discover NDE Techniques for Testing Material Integrity

December: Expand Your Toolbox: Discover NDE Techniques for Testing Material Integrity
Thursday, December 12, 2024 | 2:00-3:30 p.m. EST
During a routine inspection of an aging bridge, engineers discover visible cracks in the support beams, raising serious concerns about structural integrity. How can they assess the materials without causing further damage? The solution lies in Non- Destructive Evaluation (NDE) techniques. NDE is a technique used to assess the properties of materials and identify defects without damaging them. For inspectors, NDE is similar to how a doctor uses an X-ray to check for a broken bone instead of resorting to invasive surgery.
The structural integrity of infrastructure (ex: pavement, bridge components, retaining walls, etc.) requires testing to determine if internal deterioration is occurring. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), much like State Departments of Transportation and other owners of roadway features, houses state-of-the art NDE equipment to support a strategic vision of durable infrastructure components that have predictable service life. Using NDE techniques allows inspectors to “take a peek” without demolishing the feature or further eroding its integrity. If the internal integrity of the material is deemed with deficits, owners will need to decide to replace, rehabilitate or remove in order to sustain safety and reliability of the roadway system.
Join the staff from FHWA, including the Office of Federal Lands Highway, and the U.S. Forest Service to learn more about the state-of-the-practice and the state-of-the-art for NDE techniques. The webinar will include speakers from the Turner Fairbank Highway Research Center as well as field staff with experience in NDE. Case studies and relevant experiences will be shared so you can determine which NDE technique fits your toolbox for testing. material integrity.

The New Behavioral Science of Mode Choice
2025-02-26 19:00 - 20:30
Single-occupancy vehicle (SOV) commutes and vehicle miles traveled (VMT) contribute more to climate change than active and public-transit mobility modes but changing to active transportation and public transit require just that: change. This webinar uses social science insights into how, when, why, and where people make change to describe new, low-cost, impactful and behavior-oriented transportation interventions that support people in making climate-friendly changes. The webinar’s main message is that life changes like taking a new job, moving to a new place, and reconfiguring social networks create opportunities for mode shift where the transportation system makes mode shifts easy.

Short-Term Traffic Prediction for Proactive Transportation Management
2025-03-13 17:00 - 18:30
This webinar will discuss upcoming research findings and publications on STP, plus lessons learned from early adopters.
The search for traffic congestion solutions continues to evolve with advances in technology and a better understanding of traveler behavior. Consequently, transportation agencies are evolving towards a proactive management approach that is capable of delaying or eliminating traffic flow breakdowns.
A key aspect of proactive management is short-term prediction of traffic conditions. Short-term prediction (STP) is a real-time prediction capability that uses both historical and current data to forecast future traffic conditions for a pre-defined prediction time horizon in the near-term (e.g., the next 10, 20, 40, 60 minutes).
The ability to conduct STP is essential for moving up the Active Transportation and Demand Management (ATDM) continuum to a state of truly proactive management. STP also enhances integrated management as agencies have enough time to share information and take coordinated, proactive actions. Register below to learn about this solution from both FHWA and public agencies who are implementing it.

* FHWA Short-Term Traffic Prediction Project
o David Hale (Leidos)
o Mohammed Hadi (Florida International University)
* Cranberry Township Short-Term Prediction System:

Emerging Data and Work Zone Safety Applications
2025-03-19 17:00 - 18:30
This webinar will focus on the latest advancements in work zone safety, including the use of emerging data and innovative applications. Emerging datasets, such as those provided by CVs, crowdsourced data, probe data, and image analytics, have the potential to be effective surrogate measures for safety that can be used more proactively to identify safety issues within a work zone.
This session will highlight three case studies across Arizona, Iowa, and Virginia, showcasing the potential of connected vehicle data and other emerging datasets to enhance work zone safety. As with any emerging data source, it can be difficult for practitioners to understand how to use the data that align with traditional data collection practices.
This webinar will summarize a wide range of use cases evaluated as part of the case studies including monitoring speed limit compliance, enhancement and measures of effectiveness for transportation management plans, distracted driving in work zones and historical safety risks.
