Webinar: The Voices of the Next Generation in Transportation
Date: November 16, 2023
Time: 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm MT/2:00 pm to 3:00 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: America Walks
Younger generations are no longer choosing to only use a car when getting from A to B. As younger generations create a new transportation culture, how do we adapt to ensure that we create a transportation system that meets their needs? We need youth voices in order to shape the new transportation system. We must learn what community engagement, placemaking, urban design, and walkability look like through the lens of future leaders by ensuring they are at the decision making table.
Join America Walks and NOYS for an engaging conversation about the innovative solutions that young leaders are bringing to the forefront, how they are challenging the status quo of who has power and authority to frame the narrative of our transportation system, and discover the power of youth leadership. You will hear what NOYS has been doing to transform the transportation landscape for youth, gain insights about how youth are championing the active transportation field, and familiarize yourself with youth voices who are working towards a safer, more equitable, more accessible and sustainable transportation system across the U.S.

Webinar: Smart Work Zone Case Studies
Date: November 30, 2023
Time: 11:00 am to 12:30 pm MT/1:00 pm to 2:30 pm ET
Cost: Free
Organization: National Operations Center of Excellence (NOCoE)
This webinar will presents case studies from five agencies on their past, on-going, and planned use of smart work zone technologies as a source of data for their work zone data feeds using the WZDx specification. Each agency has prioritized different smart work zone devices, and each has taken a different approach to prioritizing the incorporation of data from smart work zone devices into their WZDx feeds. Each case study includes a discussion of the technologies used; the type of data collected; how the data are integrated, managed, and applied; and lessons learned from the projects. Each case study also includes available resources.
The webinar is part of NCHRP study on Data for Planning and Operations.
Roadway work zones can create hazardous conditions for motorists, pedestrians, and highway workers, and better, more accurate, and more timely data can reduce the risks of driving in work zones. Collecting, consolidating, and distributing this information, however, has been an ongoing challenge. Multiple agencies may be responsible for various work zones; emergency repairs and other unplanned work zones do not show up in work zone planning systems; and planning data may be very general, providing only a guide as to time of operations or the precise location of active work zones.
