New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) has numerous initiatives to enhance inter- and intra-agency resilience planning; incorporate sea level rise, flooding, and storm surge readiness into transportation operations; and work with other state government branches to execute resilience policies.
Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) is pursuing multiple initiatives to enhance the resilience of its transportation system, building on the knowledge gained from conducting vulnerability assessments in two districts as part of a pilot project. MnDOT is working to assess slope vulnerability statewide, incorporate resilience into asset ma

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Long-Term Bridge Performance (LTBP™) Program InfoBridge™ is an intuitive, user-friendly Web portal to access, visualize, and analyze bridge performance data.
In hydraulic engineering, the Manning’s roughness coefficient is often used to characterize surface roughness, and its values are either derived from experiments or assumed from empirical tables. In most computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, the user must specify a roughness height parameter, ks, thus setting the equivalent sand–grain roughn

The Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center’s (TFHRC’s) J. Sterling Jones Hydraulics Research Laboratory provided the technical assistance to several State DOTs to model these drainage structures using their partnership with Argonne National Laboratory’s (ANL’s) Transportation Research and Analysis Computing Center (TRACC).
This fact sheet describes how three-dimensional computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis was used to aid design of the flume entry and flow accelerator sections that feed water flow into a 10-ft-wide channel for the Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) Coastal and Hydraulics Laboratory.
In supporting State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and metropolitan planning organizations (MPOs) in using Geographic Information Systems, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is publishing this Case Study Report focusing on the use of online, geospatial dashboards by transportation agencies to analyze and display operational metrics and

Traffic analysis is key to developing and managing a transportation system. Public agencies recognize that modern traffic analyses require capabilities and resources that are not always available. Building on the success of the transportation systems management and operations (TSMO) capability maturity model (CMM), FHWA has now developed a Traffic

State departments of transportation (DOTs) are using Transportation Systems Management and Operations (TSMO) strategies to get the most out of their existing transportation systems, whether it’s to improve safety, reduce delays caused by congestion, save taxpayer dollars, or reduce emissions and their impact on the environment. Here are a few of th

Pasco County's mobility fee is a one-time capital charge to recover the proportionate cost of transportation improvements needed to serve the demand generated by new development projects. In replacement of the 2007 Transportation Impact Fee, it funds mobility improvements to roads, mass transit, sidewalks, trails, and bicycle paths; pays for the im

The City of Biddeford, Maine, used an innovative form of joint development called a progressive development agreement to design, fund, construct, and operate a downtown parking structure and related pedestrian amenities that had long been recognized as important for the city’s downtown vitality and economic development. As in many downtowns in smal

The City of Lincoln, Nebraska, wanted to connect its extensive citywide bicycle trail system to—and through—its growing and increasingly vibrant downtown and wanted the connection to be safe, attractive, and inviting. To meet the final project cost of nearly $3.7 million, the city assembled funding from more than 20 sources, including a major share

In the 1970s, the Nevada Department of Transportation (DOT) entered into an abovegrade right-of-way use agreement, called an “air rights agreement,” with a private developer for a 15-story hotel-casino above I-80 in Reno. But after the developer built a concrete-and-steel cap deck over I-80, financing for the rest of the project fell through, and t

The Regional Transportation Commission of Washoe County administers the Regional Road Impact Fee Program to accommodate the demand for transportation improvements associated with new developments. Since 1995, the City of Reno, the City of Sparks, and Washoe County have joined the commission in constructing $300 million of transportation improvement

Many State DOTs across the country operate Adopt-A-Highway and Highway Sponsorship programs to leverage public-private partnerships to share maintenance responsibilities and improve highway aesthetics. However, the innovative Highway Sponsorship program designed by the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) goes well beyond the traditional

The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) found unconventional ways to raise money to offset transportation budget shortfalls, one of which was, in 2014, to enter into a naming rights agreement with State Farm Insurance. Under this agreement State Farm advertises on ODOT vans that patrol highways to assist motorists. This program will raise as m
