Initially, the COVID-19 pandemic threatened to inflict severe and lasting damage to public transit in California. However, thanks to federal financial relief from three stimulus bills and stronger-than-expected bounce-back of tax revenues from state and local sources, transit agencies in 2022 have avoided that abyss—but still face an uncertain fina

Raised pavement markers (RPMs) are common on Florida roadways. They improve the visibility of driving lanes under wet or nighttime conditions, especially on rural roads where illumination may be lacking. The effectiveness of RPMs is due to their retroreflectivity, which is the ability to reflect light back toward its source (for example, a driver’s

As the most widely used construction material, concrete is very durable and can provide long service life without extensive maintenance. The strength and durability of concrete are primarily influenced by the initial water-cement ratio value (w/c), and the curing condition during the hardening process also influences its performance.
