Date: June 6, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm MT/2:00 pm to 3:00 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: ITS America As the U.S Department of Transportation (USDOT) unveiled its "Research, Development and Technology Strategic Plan" earlier in 2023, more money continues to be allocated to support technological investments in addressing road safety, in which roughly $5 billion has been dedicated to fund research projects, stemming from the $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act. Now that it's no longer a question of how cities and states can obtain the money needed to address road safety, government, and transit agencies need to be thinking about how best to use this allocated money to truly benefit the future of transportation infrastructure in their communities and eliminate all traffic fatalities in the process. According to U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg, government and transit agency officials need to "leverage innovative technologies to monitor, predict and plan ways to reduce injuries and fatalities among the transportation workforce and traveling public." With this in mind, government and transit agencies now have the opportunity to truly push into the next century of road safety and understand the technologies to keep in mind. In this webinar, attendees will learn what is needed to successfully implement road safety technology and the analytical safety and traffic insights these technologies collect and evaluate to tackle road safety issues, including: 1. Establishing a road safety performance baseline and monitoring ongoing trends
2. Adapting signal timing to not only optimize traffic conditions but also tackle safety issues
3. Leveraging connected infrastructure to alert vehicles of conflicts with vulnerable road users
4. Alerting pedestrians and cyclists more effectively by using smartphone safety applications For more information about this training, click here.

Date: June 8, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm MT/2:00 pm to 3:30 pm ET
Cost: Free members/$79 non-members
Organization: Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) During this webinar three cities will share an overview of their current curbside management programs. Curbside management encompasses a broad range interventions and approaches that center on how cities and towns utilize the valuable space next the curb. This topic has seen rapid shifts in the post-pandemic world with increases in deliveries and continued high interest in curbside dining or parklets. In DC the intersection of technology and curbside management has never been more visible. From mobile payments, to app-enabled for-hire vehicle and goods delivery services, to dynamic pricing, the transportation industry has never had more potential solutions to the evolving challenges at the curbside. Often being a leader in the pack means venturing into uncharted territory and taking an iterative approach to program implementation. The District Department of Transportation (DDOT) has been committed to leadership in transportation, particularly in curbside management. DDOT's Curbside Management Division will give an overview of several cutting-edge curbside management programs that have been developed in recent years highlighting successes, challenges, and lesson learned. Seattle will share their Zero Emissions Vehicle Loading Zone and E-Cargo Bike Delivery Implementation Plan. Freight and commercial goods are an important part of Seattle's economy. However, almost all commercial deliveries are made by gas or diesel-powered vans and trucks, which contribute to poor air quality, congestion, and safety issues. The Seattle Department of Transportation (SDOT) partnered with C40 Cities and Walker Consultants to study opportunities to more aggressively move towards zero emissions urban goods movement and how to overcome challenges such as policy, cost, route planning, and infrastructure needs. The team developed a Zero Emission Freight Implementation Plan that includes a path to adopt supportive policies and laws, and ways to incentivize the private sector to invest in zero emissions vehicles and e-cargo bikes. The Plan also lays the foundation for Seattle to create programs that could support small and medium sized businesses including an e-cargo bike lending library and neighborhood delivery hubs. The ZEV Freight Plan will support the City's ambitious goal that 30 percent of all commercial goods delivery be zero emissions by 2030, which is a key element of the City's Curbside Management 2023 Climate Plan, and aligns with Seattle's recently awarded federal SMART grant to modernize commercial vehicle loading permitting. Pittsburgh will share on their full suite of curbside approaches. The curbside area is constantly in high demand with a number of competing uses, including loading zones, mobility hubs, residential moving needs, and outdoor dining. The city has various programs that address this entire range of needs and will share how those programs are implemented and balanced in the city. For more information about this training, click here.

Date: June 13, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm MT/2:00 pm to 4:00 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: National Operations Center of Excellence (NOCoE) NCHRP Research Report 952 Guidebook (NCHRP 08-116) for Managing Data from Emerging Technologies for Transportation was published in late 2020. This guidebook is meant to help state departments of transportation (DOT) begin or further efforts toward more effectively managing and using data from emerging technologies, with a long-term goal of organization-wide shifts to modern data management practices that will carry state DOTs into the future. While the NCHRP Research Report 952 guidance is a good start to documenting modern approaches to data management for transportation agencies, these approaches represent a drastic change – a complete paradigm shift – for most DOTs. Implementing these approaches will involve non-trivial culture changes and serious reconsiderations of ingrained processes from IT to procurement to human resources. The objective of the NCHRP 20-44(39) implementation project was to bring the NCHRP Research Report 952 recommendations, roadmap, and tools to state DOTs interested in not only better managing data from emerging technologies but deriving direct benefits from using the data in ways they currently cannot, due to limitations in their existing data systems and management approaches and practices. Additionally, the NCHRP 08-116 research showed that there is often a disconnect between individual group/division needs and organization-wide IT and procurement practices. Thus, an additional objective of the project was to bring together people from different parts of an organization, provide the necessary foundational information, facilitate discussions, assist in addressing issues and concerns, and help bring about a meeting of the minds and next steps specific to the needs of the organization. In this webinar, transportation agencies participating in the NCHRP 20-44(39) project will share details of their implementation projects, including successes, challenges, and lessons learned for peer agencies.
