      <title>Advancing Pavement and Bridge Asset Performance Through Transportation Programming</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2784624</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This synthesis report examines how State Departments of Transportation (DOTs) and Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) consider National Highway System (NHS) pavement and bridge condition when developing Statewide and Metropolitan Transportation Improvement Programs (STIPs and TIPs). Using a review of documents from 10 State DOTs and 10 MPOs, a national literature review, practitioner interviews, and peer exchanges, the report identifies current practices, challenges, and opportunities for incorporating asset management data, needs, and priorities into the transportation programming process. Findings show that agencies vary in how they integrate performance targets, asset management plans, and data-driven tools into funding and project selection. Common challenges include balancing asset condition with other priorities, data limitations, staff capacity constraints, and funding uncertainty. The report includes four case studies, descriptions of notable practices, and actionable strategies for transportation agencies to strengthen performance-based programming and improve pavement and bridge performance nationwide.]]></description>

      <title>How rail service punctuality can be improved</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2786102</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Punctuality is repeatedly viewed by passengers as one of the most important factors and indicators in respect of rail services. It is usually measured as the percentage of passenger trains arriving at the terminal station with a delay of five minutes or less. The rail industry joined forces in 2013 to set a target of 95 per cent of passenger trains arriving on time and remains committed to this target. The 95 per cent punctuality target was probably set because it is a round number that is easy to remember, and it appeared ambitious but not unattainable. In Japan, the world leader in this regard, punctuality measured in the same way stands at around 98 per cent, and delays are perceived as a problem even there. Thus, there is no guarantee that everyone would suddenly perceive punctuality as a non-issue just because the 95 per cent level is reached: it would still be important to further improve quality. That said, 95 per cent would still represent a significant improvement on previous levels, and it is a necessary step towards achieving even higher levels. Punctuality can also be measured at each stop: this is often referred to as en-route punctuality. This figure is usually a percentage point or so higher, but the measures are strongly correlated and so it makes little difference in practice. Similarly, there is often a desire to measure passenger punctuality, rather than train punctuality. Again, the measures are strongly correlated as passengers cannot be more punctual than the trains they ride on. Rather, adding the passenger perspective makes punctuality even more important, as there are then connections that are at risk of being missed, but that does not make achieving the target any easier. That is why this chapter focuses on the traditional definition in this respect.]]></description>

      <title>Before and After Study of Safety Improvement Projects on State Highways Funded Through the Highway Safety Improvement Program</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2767318</link>
      <description><![CDATA[This study develops a transferable framework for the analysis of three low-cost safety improvement projects installed on state highways in Oregon; specifically Rectangular Rapid Flashing Beacon (RRFB), Shoulder Rumble Strips (SRS), and Two-Way to Four-Way Stop Conversion. A before-after EB study was performed for RRFB and SRS. A cross-sectional analysis was conducted for stop control conversion in the absence of installation data. For RRFB, the Crash Modification Factor (CMF) for total pedestrian crashes was found to be 0.481. The total crashes and rear-end crashes were also found to have reduced by 27% and 14%, respectively. The CMF for total crashes and run-off-road crashes in the presence of SRS was found to be 0.72 and 0.73, respectively. The result from the cross-sectional analysis suggested that four-way stops are associated with approximately a 15.7% reduction in crashes compared to two-way stops.]]></description>

      <title>Merged Crash Data and DMV Intervention Programs</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/2725248</link>
      <description><![CDATA[Risky behaviors are recognized by the Oregon Department of Transportation’s (ODOT) Transportation Safety Action Plan as a contributor to fatal and severe traffic injury. It is the objective of the DMV’s risky driver diversion program to reduce the frequency of crashes caused by repeat traffic offenders by removing them from the roadway until they are deemed safe to return. Until recently, based on research performed by ODOT’s research office and the Oregon Driver & Motor Vehicle Services supported by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), it was not possible to robustly evaluate how ODOT’s risky driver diversion program strategies such as the habitual traffic offender (HTO) program, the Oregon driver improvement program (DIP), the driving under the influence of intoxicants (DUII) program, and the at-risk driver program perform in making Oregon streets safely. There is a need to evaluate the effectiveness of these programs to maximize  efforts to improve the safety of road users in Oregon.

This evaluation will confirm which programs are producing positive safety improvements. Policy recommendations for shifting the triggering thresholds for certain diversion programs or modifying their delivery in other ways based on the risk profiles of Oregon drivers, specifically the relationships between citations and crashes experienced in Oregon, will be developed.]]></description>
