EDC3 Regional Models of Cooperation — Congestion Management

Posted & filed under Every Day Counts Initiative.

February 11, 2016 1-2:30 ET

Description:

FHWA and FTA’s Regional Models of Cooperation initiative is part of the Every Day Counts 3 program. It provides a framework and process for state departments of transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, transit agencies, and partners, to improve communication, collaboration, policy implementation, technology use and performance management across agency boundaries.

Transportation congestion impacts the daily lives of many who live or work in urban areas, and it is a complex issue that frequently crosses planning jurisdictions in metropolitan areas. MPOs often work together with neighboring MPOs, with local jurisdictions, and with State DOTs to comprehensively measure and address congestion at a regional scale. This webinar will feature examples from 2-3 regions where MPOs and their partners are working together across jurisdictions to manage congestion.

EDC Exchange September 15

The majority of the bridges across the nation are small, single-span bridges commonly on rural and local roads. As the infrastructure ages, weight restrictions or bridge closures are becoming more frequent. With limited resources available, transportation agencies must find innovative, cost-effective solutions for bridge construction.  The Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil–Integrated Bridge System (GRS–IBS) may be an excellent alternative to help reduce bridge construction time and cost!
