SUMMARY:APWA Accreditation Open Forum: “Self-Assess or Apply? Finding Your Starting Point” (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Self-assessment is often described as the first step in the accreditation process\, but many agencies still ask\, where do we actually begin? Should you apply first\, or start working through self-assessment first? What does a strong start look like? This Open Forum will explore how self-assessment fits into the overall accreditation journey and discuss the connection between preparing internally and formally applying. Whether your agency is just exploring accreditation or has been considering it for some time\, this session is designed to help you think through those early decisions. \nJoin experienced panelists as they share how their agencies approached self-assessment. You will hear how they organized their teams and built internal understanding. Panelists will also talk through timelines\, early expectations\, and some of the challenges they encountered along the way. They will share what worked for their agencies and what they learned early in the process\, so you can consider what might work best for yours. \nRegistration: Free for members and nonmembers \nProficiency Level: Introductory

SUMMARY:Ohio LTAP: Winter Pothole Treatments for Local Roads (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Date: August 4\, 2026 \nTime: 10:00 – 11:00am PT \nThis research was conducted to identify efficient and cost-effective pothole patching treatments and provide recommendation for optimal methods and materials that various Local Public Agencies (LPAs) can use to enhance the performance and longevity of pothole patches installed during the winter season. To achieve these objectives\, a survey of LPAs in Ohio and nationally and a comprehensive literature review were performed to identify the best methods and materials used for winter pothole patching. A comprehensive field testing plan was developed to evaluate the identified methods and materials. The testing plan considered different factors pothole patching methods and/or materials combination\, pothole size and depth\, pavement structure type\, type of road and traffic\, and climate region and weather. A total of 686 patches were installed as part of the testing plan in different LPAs in Ohio using the considered method and materials and their combination. In addition\, the patches performance and longevity were monitored. Data mining techniques were employed in order to identify the factors that dictates the patch performance. In addition\, survival analysis was conducted to determine the expected lifetime of the different patching methods/materials combinations. Finally\, cost analysis was conducted to determine the life cycle cost of the different patching methods/materials combinations. This presentation will provide information on the findings and recommendations.

SUMMARY:Ohio LTAP: Leveraging Abandoned Railroad Tunnels for Bat Conservation (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Date: August 12\, 2026 \nTime: 10:00 – 11:00am PT \nMillions of North American bats have died from white-nose syndrome (WNS) since 2006. WNS is caused by a fungus\, Pseudogymnoascus destructions\, that is widespread in Europe and Asia but only introduced to North America by humans around 2006. Since its introduction to the area surrounding Albany\, New York\, P. destruction has spread across much of North America\, extending its range to the Pacific coast and the Mexican border. For hibernating bats throughout much of this region\, the fungus has been devastating\, causing populations to decline precipitously and prompting concerns of regional and range-wide extinctions. Although bats are often extirpated from hibernacula once the fungus arrives\, P. destructions can survive in the absence of bats for hosts\, making hibernacula environmental reservoirs for the fungus. WNS is now considered endemic in Ohio\, and bat populations in the state have declined dramatically over the last decade. Unfortunately\, an effective management strategy for promoting recovery of WNS susceptible species does not yet exist. It is therefore notable that winter surveys for hibernating bats in Ohio and Pennsylvania have reported an increased use of abandoned railroad tunnels by two species highly imperiled by WNS: the little brown myotis (Myotis lucifugus) and the tricolored bat (Perimyotis subflavus). Indeed\, the largest little brown myotis hibernacula left in Ohio is an abandoned tunnel. While anecdotal\, these observations raise the possibility that these environments may provide bats with a survival advantage. Thus\, abandoned railroad tunnels may provide an opportunity for conservation and management. This research seeks to study these environments in order to create recommendations for creating or enhancing similar habitats for bat conservation. ODOT will receive recommendations for protecting and enhancing abandoned railroad tunnels as bat hibernacula from this study. By identifying hibernacula such as abandoned railroad tunnels that have been overlooked by management efforts in the past.

SUMMARY:Ohio LTAP: Investigation of Pavement Performance in Historically Under-Performing Regions (Virtual)
DESCRIPTION:Date: August 26\, 2026 \nTime: 10:00 – 11:00am \nOver the last couple of decades ODOT has experienced pavement performance that significantly underperforms statewide averages\, in some regions\, for decades. These issues were believed to be primarily caused by poor quality aggregate sources in these regions. District 3 (D3) has experienced the worst historical performance\, but other districts in the region have experienced similar issues as well. Additionally\, many counties adjacent to D3 experience lower performance that is masked when looking at district-wide performance. There have also been complaints of early raveling that may be linked to the same issue. These are likely being exacerbated by other factors such as design practices\, poor-quality control\, poor construction practices\, lack of proper inspection\, lack of proper QA\, etc. Ohio has very different geology across the State and certain Districts only utilize the local materials within their region. Current aggregate specifications need examined to determine their contribution. As noted below\, ODOT has studied these issues in the past and implemented changes to the program that have not resulted in the desired outcome. Due to the cost of pavement performance loss\, further research is warranted to determine the root cause(s) of the regional issues and assess the cost/benefit of any potential changes to ODOT standards and specifications. The objectives of this research include the following: 1. Identify the root cause(s) of poor performance trends in regions of Ohio. 2. Determine the financial impact to ODOT of the performance loss. 3. Develop prioritization of root causes. 4. Recommend methods to eliminate root causes or to moderate root cause effects on performance. Consider how the use of new or emerging technologies could benefit current and future root cause elimination efforts. 5. Develop a cost-benefit analysis with a sensitivity analysis for each proposed method. 6. Develop methods to verify the effectiveness of eliminating or controlling those root causes.
