From site planning and location to materials, installation, and maintenance, bike parking involves many moving parts. Join APBP on August 26 at 3:00 pm ET for a live webinar exploring some of the new components of the APBP Bicycle Parking Guide.

Ohio LTAP: A Field Evaluation of Perpetual Pavement Concept (Virtual)
2026-08-27 10:00 - 11:00 | NV
Date: August 27, 2026
Time: 10:00 – 11:00am
This project will construct a perpetual pavement using Highly Modified Asphalt (HiMA) and validate the perpetual pavement concept in real world conditions by instrumenting and collecting data on a roadway in Ohio. ODOT is interested in the best way to utilize HiMA (i.e., asphalt base only, surface and intermediate only, or full depth asphalt buildups). The goal of this research is to design, construct and monitor Ohio’s first perpetual pavement built with HiMA. The results obtained are expected to provide the Office of Pavement Engineering with a model for future design, as well as the confidence needed to roll out additional designs for perpetual pavements as conditions warrant. The results of this research will: 1. Incorporate the HiMA material into the design and construction to evaluate its cost effectiveness and constructability. 2. Investigate the perpetual pavement design software/concepts as it applies to the perpetual pavement design using the HiMA material. 3. This research has the potential for significant savings for ODOT and the taxpayer.

Performance monitoring, evaluation, and reporting is an essential task for TMS as they help determine the effectiveness and efficiency of the system. In order to provide useful performance information, it is important to define the subsystems, functions, actions, and services of a TMS that needs to monitored, evaluated and reported on. In addition it is important to specify the scope of the TMS performance monitoring and reporting. These may include:

TMS asset performance (e.g., number of system failures within a period of time, detector communication performance, etc.).
Traffic impact performance (e.g., section travel times, section average speed, section throughput, etc.).

Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE): Decide and Provide - Vision-Led Planning and Trip Generation (Virtual)

Continuing Education Credits: 1 PDH/CM credit
Organization: Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE)

The world, and transportation with it, are changing in ways that are difficult to predict. However, our transportation planning and development tools rely upon forecast-led paradigm of “Predict and Provide.” In combination with car-centric performance standards, a Predict and Provide approach can result in the over-provision of highway capacity and under-provision of active transportation infrastructure, making it more difficult to meet community goals for safety and livability. Rather than a Predict and Provide approach, this webinar showcases a “Decide and Provide” approach to transportation planning that is vision-led, access-focused, and uncertainty-savvy. While still drawing upon trip generation data associated with previous land-use developments, this vision-led approach also considers the influence of development design and the need to accommodate uncertainty in judging what transport provision is suitable for supporting access to employment, goods, services and opportunities for the communities concerned.
