FHWA webinar: Make Federal-Aid Local Project Delivery Easier --Swap Federal Funds
2023-07-27 08:00 - 09:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | NV
Description: Local Agency Federal-Aid Project implementation is a high risk for FHWA and state DOTs, due to complex federal requirements and local governments’ lack of experience with them. Many local agencies forego federal funds due to the high risk, increased delivery time, and complexity involved. The Federal Fund Swap process can allow local governments to follow their normal project delivery processes and eliminate most of the risks involved with federal funds for all government agencies.

Learning Objectives:

Explain the Federal Fund Swap process and some of its benefits to local, state, and federal transportation agencies.
Determine if the Federal Fund Swap process would benefit local and state transportation agencies within your state.
Compare federal funding versus non-federal funding options for your transportation projects, knowing the “added costs” of federal requirements.

This program offers 0.1 CEU credits for the one hour presentation portion of the program. The final half hour, discussions in the lounge area is optional.
This program is sponsored by the APWA Transportation Committee

FHWA: Effective Structures for Wildlife Crossings - Webinar
2023-09-14 11:00 - 12:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | NV
Innovation Exchange
Conversations Launching Change
Presented by the Federal Highway Administration Local Aid Support

Source: PennDOT
Wildlife crossing structures are becoming more prevalent on the landscape. Bolstered by the new Wildlife Crossing Pilot Program, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is looking to include even more structures that assist wildlife in safely crossing highways while avoiding collisions with vehicles. These structures come in all shapes and sizes, ranging from small culverts to large overpasses.
However, the structure is only one element in the full spectrum of hardware needed to direct wildlife to the safe crossings. Fencing is primarily necessary, but fencing comes with increased installation, maintenance, and monitoring costs for the owners and operators of the highway.
Explore the various stages of design, construction, environmental monitoring, and maintenance of wildlife crossings with field experienced staff from FHWA and the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.
