This guide helps agencies to incorporate equity into their transportation plans through a five-step framework for conducting equity analyses. The five steps are: identifying populations for analysis, identifying needs and concerns, measure impacts of proposed agency activity, determine if impacts are disparate or have adverse effects, and develop strategies to avoid and mitigate inequities. Though intended for Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs), this guide is also applicable to transit agencies, state DOTs, and other transportation agencies that seek to address equity in their plans, programs, and policies.

This report focuses on organizational structures and management approaches which engender collaboration and communication within DOTs and result in the adoption of new technologies and innovative programs. The scan team interviewed various aspects of leadership, culture and organization at Utah, Maryland, Washington State, Tennessee, Iowa, and Minnesota DOTs to uncover their methods for success. The results of the interviews are organized into: leadership and cultural traits; peoples' knowledge, skills, and abilities; organizational structures; business process improvements; performance management; and collaboration.

This guide provides an update to the 2010 guidebook (NCHRP Report 525: Surface Transportation Security, Volume 16) to include new federal guidance and advancements in practices.

The guide complies with NIMS, covers all levels of hazards and all modes of travel, and focuses on the safety of system users and disaster responders.

This presentation from the 12th National Conference on Transportation Asset Management is an overview of New York DOT's development of a single, shared, authoritative destination for data and information. Provides examples of data (and data visualization) tools used, project framework and best practices.

This publication summarizes a webinar that sought to gauge the effect of the pandemic on select transportation agencies, their revenue, planned investments, and system use. It includes discussion of adaptations by participating agencies in response to the pandemic.

Through its coordinated approach, Integrated Corridor Management (ICM) optimizes the use of assets and flow of traffic along a corridor. This guide presents a more inclusive, systematic approach to ICM, accounting for the stakeholders often left behind in traditional ICM: freight, transit, incident response, and non-motorized transportation users. The new methods are based on the feedback and lessons learned of agencies that have implemented ICM.

This draft version of Ohio's 2045 long range plan is expected to be finalized soon after completing a public review period. It presents the current system metrics, identifies seven goals (safety, preservation, efficiency & reliability, mobility& accessibility, economic competitiveness, quality of life, environmental stewardship), provides monitored performance measures, explores future trends, conducts a financial needs assessment, and culminates in a set of strategies and initiatives.

Pete Rahn, former Maryland transportation secretary, talks about the organizational impact of TPM and shares lessons learned from the implementation of Missouri DOT’s influential Tracker program.

This guide to building information modeling (BIM) applications for airports was published in 2020. It presents guidance for evaluating the business case of applying and implementing BIM.

The Alabama Department of Transportation (ALDOT) strives to find innovative and cost-effective approaches for improving the state’s transportation system. The development of ALDOT’s Transportation Asset Management Plan (TAMP) is consistent with ALDOT’s desire to make data- driven spending decisions related to its assets. In short, ALDOT puts into practice – both on a regular basis and more specifically through this TAMP effort – the underlying principle of Transportation Asset Management (TAM): better decision making based upon quality information and well-defined objectives. The TAMP will be a central resource for multiple ALDOT Bureaus for asset information, management strategies around those assets, financial sources and forecasting, and business management processes. ALDOT, assisted by DYE Management Group, INC. (DMG), began the TAMP Development process in 2014 and completed its initial TAMP in 2018.

This is ALDOT's second TAMP.
