Given that many states are moving forward with climate adaption plans or state regulations that require transportation plans to include climate change strategies a look at conformity/air quality implications from…
The project would generally involve a panel of state DOTs and EPA with a mandate to develop sample project-level studies (modeling and documentation) for particulate (and carbon monoxide and NO2…
NESHAP applies to demolition and “renovation” (modification); requires prior inspection for presence of asbestos and remediation prior to demolition/renovation if possible; what’s the best way and time/place to do that? Is it necessary…
EPA’s 1-hour NO2 standard is low enough to potentially cause problems, and they require near-road monitoring to determine attainment. What are the best methods for modeling roadway and rail (non-electric) NO2 microscale impacts?…
If a project has known lead-contaminated soils, what are the best management practices for construction and maintenance activities in those areas for purposes of both worker safety and protection of nearby areas?…
We propose to perform comprehensive investigation of wind resources generated from vehicle wakes onUS highways via physical collection of vehicle-generated wind data using state of the art wind measuring instrumentation,…
Scope: Quality preservation and maintenance of historic roadside structures within highway right of way is a challenge within the established low bid requirements of state agencies. As historic preservation generally…
Planners and developers need a user-friendly approach or tool to measure supply and demand for transportation-efficient development. Consumers may prefer more transportation-efficient development than currently exists. Knowing that would be…
Background There is a wealth of research on climate change and transportation that has been completed or is currently underway. In order to properly identify research gaps and needs, there…
