Road Ecology: Bees, Butterflies, Fish, and Planning for Wildlife Connectivity
January 6, 2025 | 8:00am – 9:45pm
This session addresses various topics related to the ecological aspects of transportation systems. Presentations will address topics ranging from the efficacy of installing diverters along the roadway in reducing the mortality of monarch butterflies, creating and enhancing habitat within linear rights of ways and innovative regulatory approaches to complying with the Endangered Species Act, as well as specific recommendations and guidelines for improving the ability of aquatic organisms to cross under roadway drainages. The final presentation will provide an overview of how Virginia DOT has integrated consideration of fish and wildlife needs into their planning, construction, and operations decisions and processes.
SESSION
Managing Storm Response and Resiliency for Austin's Transportation Network
January 7, 2025 | 3:45pm – 5:30pm
This session focuses on tools and techniques that agencies are using to improve resiliency through better management and maintenance of their traffic signal assets. In the session, speakers will present information on best practices related to inspection techniques, tools for managing and prioritizing improvements, and performance metrics for quantifying effectiveness.
MODERATOR
Modernizing the National Environmental Policy Act: Innovation and Tools
January 7, 2025 | 3:45pm – 5:30pm
As projects become complex, NEPA documents have become difficult to navigate, requiring multiple review cycles before publication. The U.S. DOT has prioritized improving the process via the Modernizing NEPA Challenge to encourage using web-based, interactive platforms to make NEPA documents accessible and transparent to the public, agencies, and historically under-represented populations. The Modernizing NEPA Challenge also sought examples that incentivize collaborative, real-time reviews to save time and improve the quality of NEPA documents. The session also highlights the South Carolina DOT’s I-526 Lowcountry West Environmental Impact Statement’s progress on implementing and tracking innovative environmental justice mitigation measures.
COMMITTEE
Environmental Analysis and Ecology Committee
January 8, 2025 | 8:00am – 12:00pm
The committee is concerned with the integration of environmentally- and ecologically-sound principles in applied research, education, practice and policy associated with all modes of surface-based transportation. It applies a multidisciplinary, science-based approach pertaining to the interactions between the human, physical and natural environments.
WORKSHOP
Rev It Up: Equipping Transportation Managers for Pollinator Conservation Agreement
January 9, 2025 | 9:00am – 12:00pm
This session will invite transportation managers and environmental specialists to explore enrollment in the Monarch Candidate Conservation Agreement with Assurances or new At-Risk Bumble Bee Agreement. Attendees will learn about the benefits of these agreements and participation requirements. The workshop will dig into the topic by individually prototyping through examples of enrollment and implementation. Participants may bring their own transportation system information to the session to inform their own prototyping. At the end of the workshop, participants will have an understanding of how the agreements can benefit their road or railway operations, enrollment requirements, any information gaps, and enrollment strategies for their teams.
Session
Using Part-Time Shoulder Lanes as Express Tolled Managed Lanes
August 13, 2024 | 3:30-5:00pm
As part of the development of the Hampton Roads Express Lanes (HREL) Network Project, VDOT evaluated the use of High-Occupancy Toll (HOT) Lanes in various segments of the 44+ mile corridor of I-64 from Newport News to Chesapeake, Virginia. A detailed traffic operations and safety analysis was conducted for the entire corridor to study the impact of the HOT Lanes on the flow of traffic along I-64 as well as the corresponding arterials. This research provides the findings of using Part-Time Shoulder Lanes (PTSL) as a component of the HOT/Express lanes on the HREL project. PTSL use is quickly becoming an innovative solution for highly constrained corridors where the need for reliability of travel is critical. This presentation will share the findings, lessons learned, opportunities, and challenges from this research study.
WORKSHOP MODERATOR
Framing Traffic Management Systems Strategic Direction Improvements
January 8, 2023 | 9:00am – 12:00pm ET
WORKSHOP
What Is All of the Noise About?: The Intersection of Noise and Public Engagement
January 8, 2023 | 9:00am – 12:00pm ET
The potential for more noise generated from a new highway, rail, or airport expansion project can create public controversy and concern. Explaining the process for determining noise levels, impacts, and mitigation is complex and challenging, requiring extensive public engagement and communications. This interactive workshop will walk through the process of engaging the public for projects with noise impacts. Participants will work through multiple scenarios to evaluate various techniques.
