TDOT advancing new choice lanes in the Midstate “By adding capacity to I‐24 Southeast, a heavily traveled roadway, operations are expected to improve in this major growth area. Choice Lanes provide another option for motorists to bypass congestion, allowing motorists to maintain consistent travel times. The Choice Lanes would be new, optional lanes designed, built, financed, operated, and maintained by a private‐sector partner, selected via a competitive procurement, through a Public‐Private Partnership (P3),” the approved plan reads. According to TDOT, Choice Lanes will provide a new option for Tennessee motorists to bypass congestion and allow for consistent travel speeds. #TDOT #transportation #tennessee

I've always wondered why I-10 has 3 lanes both ways, in & out of Tucson as far as Picacho, but Phoenix, THE STATE CAPITAL, has 2 measly lanes to go to Tucson. On any given day, the traffic alone bottlenecks and results in a 3 hours trip going to our from Tucson. If there's any type of accident, forget about it! You're stuck for an eternity. Can anyone provide information as to WHY it has taken this long to expand 1-10 going to Tucson? #ADOT #i10totucson #trafficmanagement #trafficnightmaresgoingtotucson #expandingi10 #unacceptabledrivingconditionforastatecapital #phoenixhasterribleroads #drivingtotucsonisanightmare #arizonahighways

Does South Dakota need this service? What is the current track conditions? I can tell you they are not conducive to PSGR speeds, without $1B+ in investment for little demand.. Not to mention.. How many passengers are currently traveling via other modes between Denver, Pierre, Rapid City, Sioux City, and the Twin Cities? Until studies show there’s demand, this is another waste of resources. The longer Amtrak remains a political football. The more it harms transit options, WHERE the demand is proven, and will benefit from greater frequency. Prime example of investing in existing corridors would be the Wolverine, running between Pontiac-Chicago. Currently running at 3XRT’s. Invest in these corridors to bring frequency to a minimum of 5XRT… It’s time to get Amtrak away from political theater. If we truly want a efficient, effective passenger rail policy, which creates societal value..

As Chair of #NCTD, I’m excited to share that the North County Transit District has been awarded a $10.2 million dollar grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (aka: RAISE) program. This dedicated funding will be used to obtain environmental clearance and complete preliminary engineering for the east segment of the SPRINTER Corridor Service Improvement Project. The Project will construct 9.5 miles of double track along NCTD’s SPRINTER hybrid rail corridor which connects the cities of Escondido and San Marcos. This is a major milestone in the District’s effort to improve SPRINTER service frequency from 30-minutes to 15-minutes. Once completed, this project will add to the convenience of taking transit in North County by improving access to major regional employment centers, educational institutions, health care providers and other essential destinations. Improved service frequency encourages more people to get out of their cars and on to transit which will in turn improve air quality and reduce congestion on adjacent roadways. It’s a win-win. In addition to supporting #Sprinter hybrid passenger rail service, the SPRINTER Corridor also supports BNSF freight services. Double tracking will enable freight services to increase frequencies, enhancing the movement of goods and supporting an efficient supply chain in southern California. This grant from the U.S. DOT builds upon funding the District has already received from Congressman Mike Levin and the FTA to modernize SPRINTER signal infrastructure. This combination of signal modernization and double tracking, will enhance public transit in North San Diego County, strengthen our region’s transportation infrastructure and economy and improve our air quality. Quite a package! #GoNCTD #PublicTransit

Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg was the keynote speaker at the recent 2024 Transportation Research Board Annual Meeting where he discussed highway safety. "The whole country rightly takes note when there is so much as a close call in aviation. Imagine if we applied that same seriousness of purpose to the crisis of road safety in America that claims more than 100 lives—which is to say, as many people as fill an airplane—every single day. It’s unacceptable. The reality is unacceptable. And that’s why we’re not treating it as unavoidable. It’s why we created the National Roadway Safety Strategy, and delivered safety funding that will benefit hundreds of millions of Americans through our Safe Streets for All program. It’s why we’re advancing Automatic Emergency Braking regulations. It’s why, we believe, we are starting to see evidence that we have begun—finally begun—to reverse the rise in roadway deaths. But there is so much work to be done on the pathway to zero." GovComm joins Secretary Pete Buttigieg in supporting Vission Zero.

When Kansas Department of Transportation (KDOT)'s U.S. 69 reached its limit in traffic congestion and safety, they tapped into the men and women they could trust to get the job done. 💪 And that’s exactly what we’re doing now with 69Express on this joint venture with Ames Construction. As population continues to climb, we’ll keep forging new paths to help improve safety and traffic. See how we’re transforming the state’s busiest highway from Associated Construction Publications (ACP): https://bit.ly/4bmnMOR

I am excited to share our two recently published papers promoting Vision Zero and the Safe System Approach. Thank you to my advisor, Dr. Lavrenz Steven M. Lavrenz, Ph.D., RSP2I, and Anahita Zahertar: co-author of one of the papers, whose contributions have made it unique and improved its value to the best. Lets dive into the latest research on Suburban Type Roadways (STR). The suburban-type roads are unique in characteristics; they have a medium speed limit, medium to higher vehicular traffic, and medium to low pedestrian/cyclist mobility. The design characteristics of this type of roadway tend to predominantly fulfill the driver’s need while compromising some safety aspects of Vulnerable Road Users. The paper “Safety Assessment of Suburban Type Roadways: New Findings Using Heterogeneity Models,” published in Transportation Research Record: A Journal of Transportation Research Board, provides context-based discussion on safety challenges at such STR. https://lnkd.in/gDsszFJr To further explore the traffic crash characteristics at STR, the paper “Heterogeneity in crash data: a cross-comparison between ordered probability model and its variant using crashes at suburban type arterial,” published in Accident Analysis & Prevention, takes a deep dive into the heterogeneous nature of crash data at STR. This work focuses more on exploring innovative statistical modeling techniques of transportation data and directs practitioners toward finding better solutions to safety challenges that resemble STR. https://lnkd.in/gaWFtTKy Every sentence in these papers reflects meticulous research work conducted, rigorous guidance, and the strenuous efforts made by all authors to write them. These are works I would always love to boast as I talk about my research experience. #visionZero #SafeSystemApproach #TransportationSafety

Did you know that in 2023, the Madison Railroad has already transported over 2,650 railcars for more than 20 different customers??? With the significant increase in rail traffic, our train operations have doubled compared to 2022, resulting in more frequent, and longer, trains running across our system each day. Throughout the year, we've been actively involved in outreach and public education initiatives to raise awareness about our operations and bolster railroad safety. We recognize that, for some members of our communities, seeing a train on our rails might be a new experience in 2023. It's important to note that increased rail activity may come as a surprise. We urge everyone to stay vigilant around all railroad tracks and adhere to posted traffic signs at every railroad grade crossing. Remember: "Stay Alert, Stay Alive: Respect Railroad Crossings." Trains can't stop quickly, but you can. Obey signals, look both ways, and cross tracks only at designated crossings. Your life is worth the wait. #RailSafety #StaySafe" #madisonindiana #Madisononthemove #madisonrailroad #railroad #operationlifesaver #indianaoperationlifesaver #trains #economicdevelopment

With major changes along Loop 1604 in recent months, San Antonio is working to meet the traffic demands now and in the future as the population is growing. "If traffic projections for 2040 are correct, officials say what is now a roughly 30-minute drive on Loop 1604 could become upwards of 113 minutes – or nearly two hours – if the expansion project were not underway." At the end of this project that is predicted to end in 2028, the stretch of Loop 1604 from Bandera Road to I-35 is going to shift from a four-lane highway to 10 lanes with a high-occupancy vehicle lane in each direction.
