Abstract:The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, working closely with FHWA, took the lead in hosting the first Winter Maintenance Technical Peer Exchange. Pennsylvania, with one of the largest winter maintenance organizations involving state and local governments, has identified winter operations as a key to an effective, efficient and safe transportation system, enhancing the mobility and economic stability of the Commonwealth and the nation. The purpose of this multi-partner exchange was to improve the dissemination and use of winter technology for state and local governments and to help guide key transportation committees, organizations and associations addressing winter maintenance issues that effect transportation mobility, productivity, safety and the environment - four items directly related to FHWA's National Strategic Goals. The Winter Maintenance Technical Peer Exchange was an intense 2.5 day exchange with Technical Experts from across the country representing LTAPt/2 Centers, State DOTs, and FHWA. The exchange was geared toward improving winter maintenance training, technical assistance, and knowledge resources; the identification of technology development needs; and the improvement of critical methodologies and networks (e.g. T2/LTAP). This technical exchange explored winter maintenance technology addressing operations, materials, equipment, planning, and communications with respect to safety, the environment, and traffic mobility. The Exchange took place in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania from March 21 to March 23, 2005.
