SUMMARY:Every Day Counts Virtual Summit
DESCRIPTION:EDC is a State–based model that identifies and rapidly deploys proven\, yet underutilized innovations to shorten the project delivery process\, enhance roadway safety\, reduce traffic congestion\, and integrate automation. The summit is an integral component of the EDC model\, bringing together transportation leaders and front-line professionals responsible for the development and delivery of highway projects. We are excited to conduct the EDC-6 summit virtually this year and welcome participation from all of our partners–State DOTs\, local agencies\, federal land management agencies\, tribes and industry–to encourage creative thinking\, and celebrate a shared vision for new opportunities. \nEDC is Innovation for a Nation on the Move.  In this cycle\, the seven initiatives feature strategies to increase engagement with people\, new applications of products to preserve and repair our infrastructure\, and improve processes to save time on project delivery and incident management.  We look forward to your participation in the summit.

SUMMARY:Kentucky LTAP: Chainsaw Safety Training
DESCRIPTION:Chainsaws are widely used in wide variety of industries and can be very useful\, but it is important to remember they can also be very dangerous. Every year\, numerous chainsaw operators and bystanders are seriously injured and killed due to chainsaw accidents. A large majority of these statistics could have been prevented by learning and practicing proper chainsaw safety. During this presentation\, we will discuss chainsaw maintenance procedures\, how to select and properly use personal protective equipment\, and how to safely operate the chainsaw to reduce the risk of injury.

SUMMARY:America Walks Webinar: Inclusive Planning in Tribal Communities - Engaging People with Disabilities in Designing Safe and Accessible Transportation Systems
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, December 9th\, America Walks will release a new White Paper on Inclusive Planning in Tribal Communities and broadcast a live webinar featuring the author and members of the Project Advisory Board. \nFunded through a Partnership for Inclusive Health Innovation Grant\, this project has involved research\, key informant interviews\, and expert analysis\, with the goals being: \n\nTo understand how people with disabilities are currently engaged in tribal community planning processes\, and\nTo develop recommendations for expanding inclusion and ensuring the design and construction of safe and accessible transportation systems.\n\nWhite Paper author Yamelith Aguilar will describe her research and key findings\, which relate to tribal culture\, existing infrastructure for walking and rolling\, and the legal applicability of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Following Yamelith’s presentation\, a panel of experts in disability inclusion\, community engagement/advocacy\, accessible design\, and tribal planning will discuss the implications of the study and recommendations for future projects and processes. These experts\, who represent national organizations and tribal governments\, served as the Project Advisory Board – reviewing drafts of the White Paper and providing additional context and best practices. \nFinally\, details of a new Tribal Inclusion Mini-Grants Program will be announced. Groups and communities with an interest or experience in this area of community change will be invited to submit brief proposals for projects designed to implement one or more recommendations of the White Paper. Two $2\,500 mini-grants will be awarded in January.

SUMMARY:National Institute for Transportation and Communities Webinar: Land Use and Transportation Policies for a Sustainable Future
DESCRIPTION:Liming Wang of PSU presents on AV technology’s impacts on travel\, land use and sustainability. \nEven though there are tremendous uncertainties in the timing and evolution path of the Autonomous Vehicles (AV) technology\, it may become a likely reality within most MPOs’ long-range regional transportation plan horizon of twenty years. Yet a recent survey of the largest MPOs in the US indicates only one of them “even mentions driverless\, automated\, or autonomous vehicles in its most recent RTP”. One of the uncertainties in assessing the impacts of AV is their direction: on one hand\, self-driving cars could increase VMT by increasing roadway capacity\, lowering costs of travel; on the other\, they may reduce VMT by enabling more car-sharing\, improving access to transit\, eliminating the fixed costs of car ownership\, and reclaiming parking space. To date\, there is no suitable conceptual framework or modeling tools available to MPOs for quantitatively assessing the likely long-term effects of AV or potential policy scenarios. \nThis project studies the possible impacts on travel and land use of the emerging AV technology and focuses on advancing this innovative mobility option by making sure it serves the greater good of building sustainable and equitable communities in its adoption. It also contributes to smart cities research by examining the likely social\, economic\, and environmental outcomes of integrating AV in our cities and by starting to consider policies and plans to preempt their potential adverse impacts and to ensure that the AV technology improves access for all people.

SUMMARY:Practical Math Workshop – Part 1
DESCRIPTION:Register now for Nevada LTAP’s free online training for Practical Math: Using Common Math Skills to Solve Everyday Problems on the Job. This two-part workshop is being held on December 15th and 17th (8:00–10:30 am PT both days)\, and builds on basic math skills to solve common on the job problems. \nThis workshop is for anyone who needs to solve common on the job problems—using the math you already know! Whether you love it\, hate it\, or are ambivalent about math—the simple things you already can do will help you to produce units of measure like the volume of a cylinder\, the square footage of an area; flatten a slope\, or ascertain whether you have enough supplies or equipment on hand to finish a job\, and more. \nThis course builds on basic math skills that you learned in earlier web-based training or proved mastery of by passing the opt-out exam. Then by using a step by step approach\, complex problems you encounter at work will be broken down into manageable problems. You will identify what you need to know\, what you already know\, and how to proceed. You will be encouraged to ask questions\, work through some problems\, and build your confidence in what you can do. \nAt the end of this workshop\, you will be able to: \n\nPerform calculations by using the proper order of math processes.\nIdentify the best solution path for job-related word problems.\nConvert a problem into a mathematical equation.\nCalculate formulas to solve typical job-related math problems.

Sack\, PE\, Principal Engineer\, at Olson Engineering. \nNondestructive Evaluation (NDE) methods will be discussed for assessing the condition and geometry/makeup of various types of underground structures. Included will be assessment of concrete tunnel liners as well as concrete and steel pipelines and conduits. NDE methods can be used to look for voids behind conduits (such as dam outflow tunnels and grouted water pipes) and can also be used to measure current concrete thickness\, rebar details\, joint integrity\, and to map out areas of delamination\, erosion\, or other degradation for both forensic as well as quality assurance purposes. The NDE methods to be discussed include radar\, impact echo\, surface waves\, and slab impulse response.

SUMMARY:Iowa LTAP Webinar: Top 20 in Rural Bridge Replacement and Repair Innovations
DESCRIPTION:In the effort to promote more cost-effective approaches to replacing and repairing rural bridges without compromising safety\, the Soy Transportation Coalition (STC) has released the report\, “The Top 20 Innovations for Rural Bridge Replacement and Repair.” In order to select the featured innovative concepts\, the STC assembled a group of 13 bridge engineers and experts from the 13 states that comprise the organization. Three engineers served as principal analysts for the project with the remaining 10 engineers or experts serving as advisory committee members. The goal of the principal analysts and advisory committee members was to highlight a relatable number of innovative concepts that (1) will provide initial or life-cycle cost savings\, (2) have been validated by a credible engineering entity or organization\, and (3) is accessible in a large section of rural America.
