      <description><![CDATA[This report summarizes a tri-national peer exchange in Phoenix, Arizona on December 9–10, 2014. Representatives from organizations in Canada, Mexico, and the U.S. convened to discuss “border wait time,” the time that a traveler must wait in order to cross an international border from one country to another. The purpose of this exchange was to help Federal agencies, State and Provincial departments of transportation, local planning organizations, bridge authorities, and other organizations understand approaches and tools for collecting and using data on border wait time to improve outcomes and achieve performance goals and targets. Most of the discussion focused on automated systems to collect and disseminate information on border wait time. During the meeting, participants learned from one another through interactive presentations and discussions. Topics included the following: Performance measures; Definitions and metrics; Past, current, and future projects and systems; Data storage and data mining; and, Future research trends and technologies. The information from this exchange will help stakeholders prioritize next steps to advance border wait time tools, technology, and information sharing.]]></description>

      <title>Peer Exchange Summary Report: Nature-Based Solutions for Coastal Highway Resilience</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/1539901</link>
      <description><![CDATA[To inform the development of an implementation guide, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) conducted four regional peer exchanges in Spring 2018 on nature-based solutions that improve coastal highway resilience. This peer exchange summary provides a synthesis of the key examples of nature-based solutions and recommendations for successful planning and implementation. In addition, the report discusses challenges that can arise across planning, permitting, partnerships and engagement, engineering and design, and monitoring and maintenance. Similar challenges were identified at all four peer exchanges, including, for example: uncertainty around the performance of nature-based solutions; insufficient understanding of the costs and benefits of nature-based solutions and funding available for them; lengthy permitting processes; and complexities associated with the broad coordination required to implement and maintain nature-based solutions.The peer exchanges were held at: Mobile, Alabama – February 15, 2018; Oakland, California – April 10, 2018; Lewes, Delaware – April 17, 2018; and Wilmington, North Carolina – April 19, 2018.]]></description>
