      <title>Use of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) by State DOTs: February 27, 2018 Peer Exchange</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1688117</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This peer exchange brought together public and private organizations to discuss the state of the practice and possible future uses of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) in the field of highway operations, construction, and maintenance. States that have implemented UAS programs have found that the use of drones can save time and money, and increase safety and efficiency. Each of the State departments of transportation (State DOTs) is approaching the introduction and use of drone technology differently depending upon the structure of the State DOT. Peer exchange participants included North Carolina DOT, New Jersey DOT, Ohio DOT, Utah DOT, Wyoming DOT, American Road and Transportation Builders Association, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and the Federal Highway Administration.]]></description>

      <title>A site full of experts: New safety training program educates everyone</title>

      <description><![CDATA[The Safety Certification for Transportation Project Professionals (SCTPP) program is available to anyone in the transportation construction industry who wants to ensure worker and motorist safety. The program's goal is to boost the hazard awareness and risk management of all transportation project professionals in positions of oversight in order to promote a decline in safety incidents. Details about the program, which is housed within the American Road & Transportation Builders Association's (ARTBA) Foundation, are included in this article.]]></description>

      <title>A Death Not in Vain</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1323246</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The death of a member of the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) led the agency to increase knowledge about safety around work zones. Previous safety campaigns by MoDOT focused on traditional highway projects, featuring long-term stationary lane closures. MoDOT’s 2013 safety campaign was called “Don’t Zone Out” and featured highway projects that were short-term and mobile. The department had transitioned from a maintenance-focused road program to using a variety of moving highway operations, and motorists were not aware that not all work zones look alike. The safety campaign won an award from the American Road & Transportation Builders Association Transportation Development Foundation.]]></description>

      <title>Ike, ARTBA &amp; The Interstates: Building a Better America!</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/771915</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article chronicles the history of the interstate highway in America and the role of the American Road & Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA). Although Dwight Eisenhower was an important force in the development of the Interstate System, it actually had its roots much earlier. In December 1901, Horatio S. Earle, then president of the League of American Wheelmen, came up with the idea of linking all the state capitals with each other and with Washington, D.C. The organization he founded to promote his idea later became the ARTBA. The article traces the history of the development of the interstate system through the first half of the 20th century and the role of Washington's elite statesmen in the effort to produce the new system.]]></description>

      <title>Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users: An Analysis</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/767888</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This is an analysis by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association of the 2005 Safe, Accountable, Flexible and Efficient Transportation Equity Act - A Legacy for Users (SAFETEA-LU). The executive summary of the analysis notes that funding levels are more than 30 percent higher than under the previous legislation, but that the effect in real terms on the U.S. transportation construction market is much smaller, a 1.8 percent average annual increase for highways and 3.6 percent increase for transit. Tax changes enacted in 2004 compensate the Highway Trust Fund for all sales of ethanol motor fuels and are the source of nearly all the funding increases. Environmental reviews have tighter deadlines and more inter-agency coordination for approvals, with some states given the option to assume many federal responsibilities; there is a grace period for Clean Air Act conformity requirements; and there is a deadline for filing lawsuits challenging projects. A number of innovative finance and tolling methods are included as provisions, including allowing the use of toll financing on the Interstate Highway System. The law also establishes a categorical investment program for infrastructure safety and a rural road safety fund. Future financing mechanisms are mandated for study by commissions and studies for post-2009 financing.]]></description>

      <title>TEA-3: INDUSTRY, POLITICIANS PUSH FOR $40 BILLION-$50 BILLION/YEAR PROGRAM</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/704661</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This article discusses some of the funding issues related to reauthorization of the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century, which will expire in October of 2003.  One proposal by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association calls for more efficient cash management of the Highway Trust Fund along with small annual increases in the federal motor fuels excise taxes of two cents or less per year.  This would allow an increase in federal highway investment by $5 billion per year, reaching $60 billion in FY 2009.  Other interest groups, members of Congress, and Bush administration officials are suggesting other objectives and funding sources.  The groups are divided on the need for and feasibility of an increase in the gas tax. Transit, intermodal transportation, transportation system security and pavement preservation are all cited as high priorities for the reauthorization.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[An analysis by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association shows a major environmental policy group proposal to halt new road construction and allocate all funds for repairs would harm the motoring public and the economy by failing to address suburban road congestion and safety.  According to the report, only 3% of the mileage of federal-aid improvement projects authorized in 1997 for urban areas consisted of new roads; 78% of all the miles of construction authorized for urban areas solely involved system preservation.]]></description>

      <title>SURVEY OF THE EDUCATION AND HUMAN CAPITAL NEEDS OF THE TRANSPORTATION CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/724994</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A major impediment to the development and implementation of new safe and productive techniques and technologies in the U.S. construction industry is the lack of coordinated efforts to define training and research needs, to communicate these needs to education institutions, and to communicate the research outcomes back to the industry.  The main objective of this project is to identify education and training needs for the U.S. transportation construction industry, in order to accomplish the following goals: (1) determine the level of deficiency in the skilled workers and project management employees market of the construction industry; (2) Understand the training and education needs of the construction industry; and (3) Communicate these needs to trade associations, and education and research communities.  To accomplish these goals a national survey was conducted.  Questionnaires were developed, focus groups were formed, and the survey (with cover letter by the American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA)) was sent to about 2,000 transportation contractors.  The questionnaire results were analyzed and actions were recommended.]]></description>
