Transit bus maintenance practices as used by thirteen small and medium-sized transit systems in Virginia were cataloged. Different approaches to maintenance were investigated and the current condition of transit bus maintenance was determined. Factors affecting the performance of transit bus maintenance were identified and recommendations were deve

Stream monitoring stations have been installed on eight construction projects under Phase 1 of this study. Monitoring on four of the projects is complete and monitoring on the remaining four is continuing. On the basis of the limited data, it appears that the amount of suspended sediment transported from a construction project in the Valley and Rid

Evaluations of traffic paint markings were conducted in an effort to determine their daytime and nighttime functionality. Included in the project initially were two formulations supplied by FHWA, a 50/50 blend of the white and yellow traffic paint currently used by the SDHPT, and the yellow traffic paint currently used by SDHPT. These traffic marki
