A report on FHWA's Accelerated Implementation and Development of Pavement Technologies (AID-PT), focusing on the development and implementation of innovative pavement technologies.

Anonymous probe vehicle data are currently being collected on major interstates and arterials throughout the United States. Probe data are used to assign average speeds to pre-define roadway segments of varying lengths. These segments are known as Traffic Message Channels (TMCs). Through the analysis of this probe data for each TMC, transportation agencies have been making progress in the development of agency wide performance measures to better plan and manage spatially distributed infrastructure assets. One widely accepted performance measure is travel time reliability, which is calculated along a series of TMC segments that collectively makes up a corridor. When consistent travel times are not achieved, due to incidents or recurring periods of congestion, it is desirable to understand the time and frequency of these increased travel time incidents to better manage the system.

The Ohio DOT Preservation homepage communicates the agency's strategy and operational approach to preservation is clear, compelling terms. In addition to a simple user interface that highlights key initiatives, the Preservation homepage features an innovative animated video: Taking Care of What We Have that introduces basic concepts related to asset preservation, investment, and performance. The agency notes that "Most people notice when ODOT builds something new, but we actually spend 93% of our time and resources preserving our transportation system. We continue to implement new, smarter ways to improve safety and protect Ohio’s investment in the more than 43,000 miles of roads and 14,000 bridges that ODOT maintains."

A culmination of discussions with communities and other stakeholders, Louisiana's long range plan analyzes the state of the Louisiana transportation system including its condition, performance, and funding needs. The result of these analyses is a set of policy and strategy recommendations to guide the state through to 2044. The plan is multimodal, giving consideration to ports, waterways, aviation, freight, and transit as well as highways and automobile traffic.
