MANAGING TRAVEL FOR PLANNED SPECIAL EVENTS

The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is developing a technical reference entitled Managing Travel for Planned Special Events that will provide a framework for establishing an integrated transportation management practice, utilizing innovative techniques, to enhance the efficiency and applicability of current agency event-specific plans. The document will present and recommend various operational strategies, traffic management plan components, common guidelines/procedures, and technology applications that satisfy the special customer requirements and stakeholder performance requirements driving planned special events management. This paper will provide some advance information on the content of the technical reference for immediate use. In addition, the paper will release some successful practices that have been uncovered as a result of gathering information for inclusion in the FHWA Handbook and based on the authors' experience in managing planned special events.
