I-95 CORRIDOR COALITION – THE EASTERN TRANSPORTATION COALITION

EXECUTIVE BOARD MEETING

June 24, 2020 Notes

Attachment:

  • Meeting presentation slides
  • 1. Welcome and Introductions – Trish Hendren welcomed the participants to the meeting of the I-95

Corridor Coalition’s (soon to be the Eastern Transportation Coalition) Executive Board. A roll call was taken and is provided with these minutes.

  • 2. Bringing Information to Members – The Coalition continuously gets information into the hands of

member agencies’ staff and stakeholders through a wide range of data options, tools, best practice sharing, experience exchanges and staff expertise. The need for information is particularly acute during the COVID pandemic. Following are a few examples of such resources available through the Coalition and Coalition partners:

  • a. Volume Trend Data Licenses – the Coalition has procured INRIX licenses for Coalition

member states to access timely transportation information to facilitate analysis of relative travel changes since the start of COVID-19. The information can be used by agencies for:

  • i. Operations – for awareness of volume fluctuations on your roads
  • ii. Finance – to understand the financial implications of the pandemic
  • iii. Planning – to develop scenarios for planning, including insights into freight

movement Through these short-term licenses, Coalition member agencies have free access to the INRIX Trip Trends Dashboard - which provides indices for VMT, Trip Counts, Trip Distances, Trip Durations (nationwide, statewide, and in 98 pre-defined metropolitan areas in the US).

  • b. COVID-19 Impact Analysis – The Bureau of Transportation Statistics, in conjunction with the

University of Maryland Center for Advanced Transportation Technology, is hosting a website showing daily travel during the COVID-19 pandemic. The site (https://www.bts.gov/browse-statistical-products-and-data/trips-distance/explore-us- mobility-during-covid-19-pandemic) addresses the questions:

  • i. In which States and Counties are people staying at home? Which ones show the

most activity?

  • ii. How much are people traveling as the pandemic continues?
  • iii. When they leave home, how far are people traveling?
  • 3. Coalition Initiatives/Highlights – The Coalition’s program work has continued to provide value

throughout the pandemic and includes additional efforts to assist agencies with challenges arising in these rapidly changing times. Highlights of select current initiatives were presented:

  • a. COVID-19 Virtual Discussions – Jonathan Gulliver, MassDOT Highway Administrator,

provided insights on Coalition and MassDOT programs developed to address unique issues related to COVID-19. The Coalition has held three recent discussions, across multiple agencies, about how COVID has changed maintenance practices and construction practices. The quick-turnaround

slide-2
SLIDE 2

2 | P a g e information exchanges were developed in response to member requests, and were held on May 13 (maintenance), June 9 (construction), and June 23 (maintenance). These exchanges brought together Chief Engineers, Directors, Administrators and other senior management across 14 member states to discuss (1) adjustments in procedures and personnel, (2) keeping employees safe, (3) innovative supply chain avenues, (4) adjustments to maintenance and construction practices, and (4) what is coming next. The Coalition was able to support member requests for timely information by organizing and delivering these round-robin discussions quickly. At MassDOT, focus during the pandemic has been on maintaining critical operations in the field and offices. For Field Operations:

  • Maintenance and Construction staff continue to report to various locations.
  • Through the peak, a staffing rotation was put in place for Maintenance staff on a

weekly basis. MassDOT is currently at full staff with proper protocols.

  • The Highway Operations Center continues to operate in two independent locations

with dedicated staff. And for Office Staff, shifted to work from home, adjustments were made for connections with cloud technology, applications of e-signatures, and addressing bid openings and project development. COVID-19 Guidelines and Procedures issued by the Governor’s Office are followed by all construction sites and workers at all public work. Mr. Gulliver further described MassDOT’s “Shared Streets and Spaces Grant Program” and MassDOT’s Mobility Dashboard; details can be found at https://www.mass.gov/shared-streets-and-spaces- grant-program and at https://mobility-massdot.hub.arcgis.com/ respectively.

  • b. Traveler Information Services Web Summit: Emerging Technologies to Improve Safety for

Passenger & Commercial Vehicles – Greg Slater, Maryland DOT Secretary, noted that the Coalition held, on June 17, a virtual summit to learn how Coalition member agencies were using emerging technologies to improve safety for passenger and commercial vehicles. The summit hosted over 100 participants, representing 16 member states and multiple disciplines (DOTs, MPOs, Toll Authorities, Federal Agencies, Universities, Vendors, and Consultants). During the summit, five new traveler information services areas were highlighted:

  • i. NJDOT: Use of Voice Assistance in 511 – this system, built off the current real-time

data available on 511, enables drivers to get travel time and incident information more safely (through voice commands, rather than a phone keypad).

  • ii. Using Technology to Alert Drivers – two new ways to communicate with drivers:
  • 1. The Help Alerting System (being implemented in MD, PA, NJ and GA) allows

the DOT to have a two-way communication via the Wireless Emergency Alert (WEA) system with people who are stopped on a road or approaching a hazardous area.

  • 2. Using iHeart Radio for Highway Advisories, a Florida Turnpike pilot project,

modernizes two existing technologies to provide another source of accurate and current traveler information to drivers.

  • iii. PennDOT: TSMO Performance Program – PennDOT is expanding its data sources to

increase awareness of travel conditions. For example, by augmenting their Road Condition Reporting System (RCRS) with INRIX and WAZE data they are able to detect a much higher percentage of crashes on the core network. Additionally, PennDOT is aware of crashes much earlier enabling them to (1) get information out faster to the public, and (2) respond to the incident faster.

SLIDE 3

3 | P a g e

  • iv. Trucking: Alert Notification System – An alert system has been developed to advise

truckers, through their in-cab devices, of upcoming hazards and incidents. The system, powered by a partnership with INRIX and Drivewyze, was designed to reduce secondary crashes through early notification. The Coalition’s Traveler Information Summit brought five innovative ideas to members on how to get information directly to the driver - utilizing new technology and data - making passenger and commercial vehicle travel safer. During Board member discussion, Commissioner McMurry noted that this is what the Coalition always does – bring everyone to the table to develop solutions.

  • c. Tolling Violation Enforcement Reciprocity (TVER) – Russell McMurry, Georgia DOT

Commissioner, provided an update on the recent Coalition TVER working group meeting which focused on “making it easier to pay” – an exploration of innovative payment

  • methods. The event was attended by 37 participants, representing 20 agencies (DOTs,

DMVs, and Toll Authorities), and presentations were given by Georgia State Road & Tollway Authority, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission, North Carolina Turnpike Authority, Virginia Department of Transportation, and Florida’s Turnpike Enterprise. Prior to the working group meeting, a white paper was compiled and distributed, outlining how agencies were starting to use retail stores, kiosks, apps, and external vendors to accept payments. Takeaways from the meeting included:

  • i. As agencies move toward all-electronic tolling, there is still a need to give options

to the cash-preferred and unbanked customers.

  • ii. Innovative payment solutions will require new partners (e.g., Google, Apple,

InComm, Amazon).

  • iii. There’s a need for more flexibility with toll fees and app-based payments (e.g., apps

may not allow customers to make a partial payment).

  • iv. There’s interest in regionalizing an app-based payment capability.

Following the meeting, the TVER Working Group Co-chairs (Diane Scaccetti, NJDOT, and Merryl Mandus, SRTA) mapped out a plan for FY21, including:

  • Advance smart payment options regionally
  • Work closely with DMVs and AAMVA
  • Advance violation enforcement reciprocity agreements
  • Increase awareness of toll payment options and reduction of toll violations for

motor carriers. The Coalition plans to hold two more TVER meetings and a vendor forum in the coming year.

  • d. WAZE Data Letter – A significant majority of the Coalition’s Executive Board members have

signed a letter to request a strategic meeting with WAZE to discuss potential product enhancements and partnering to improve travel information dissemination. Coalition staff will keep the Board informed on any follow-up activities resulting from the letter.

  • e. Trucker Appreciation Letter – In response to a request by the Coalition’s Executive

Leadership, a Letter of Appreciation was prepared for delivery to the trucking industry on behalf of the Eastern Transportation Coalition. The letter thanks drivers and the industry for their commitment, and acknowledges the risks and challenges, to move goods during the pandemic. Executive Board members are asked to provide their signatures for the letter which will be sent to the American Trucking Association & State Chapters, Owner Operator Independent Driver’s Association, Truckload Carriers Association, and FMCSA.

slide-4
SLIDE 4

4 | P a g e In addition to the letter, the Coalition’s next steps regarding freight movement during the pandemic are to:

  • i. Identify issues relevant to the corridor from recent industry surveys;
  • ii. Hold a round-robin with Coalition members to discuss what worked and what

didn’t; and,

  • iii. Organize a virtual workshop to bring together trucking stakeholders and agencies

to determine what should be adjusted going forward.

  • 4. Executive Board Business
  • a. FY20 Year in Review Report – The Coalition produced a Year-in-Review report highlighting

the Coalition’s FY20 program track operations, training programs, peer exchanges, topic- driven spotlight presentations, data access expansions, data tools and user groups, working groups, externally funded projects (grants), and more. The report can be found on the Coalition’s home page at: https://tetcoalition.org/. Appreciation was expressed for Denise Markow’s work on the report, and a comment noted by a meeting participant was “we are small but mighty.”

  • b. FY21 work Plan Review and Approval – Jennifer Cohan, Delaware DOT Secretary and

Coalition Executive Board Chair, and Trish Hendren presented the FY21 work plan for review and approval. The proposed Fiscal Year (FY) 2021 Workplan was developed through a member-driven process and supports priorities identified by the Executive Board during its February 2020 strategic planning session:

  • i. Demonstrate the value the Coalition brings to member agencies who plan, operate,

and manage our regional multimodal transportation system.

  • ii. Strengthen relationships across jurisdictions to address common challenges

related to TSMO, Freight, and Innovation.

  • iii. Advance research and development activities to keep the Coalition members at the

forefront of transportation innovation.

  • iv. Deliver high-quality workshops and products to address unmet and changing

industry needs.

  • v. Focus on implementable solutions that leverage Coalition membership and

expertise. FY21 program area initiatives will primarily focus on the following and are incorporated in the budget:

  • TSMO – Data, Technology, Traveler Information, TMC Operations, TSMO Strategies
  • Freight – Data, Planning, Operations, Technology
  • Innovation – Connected and Automated Vehicles, Sustainable Transportation

Funding, Toll Violation Enforcement Reciprocity ACTION: Secretary Cohan sought comments on the proposed FY21 work plan and budget. Hearing no objections or concerns, approval was sought. On a motion by George Conner (ALDOT), and seconded by Paul Degges (TNDOT) and Russell McMurry (GDOT), the Board unanimously approved the FY21 Work Plan and Budget. The Board approved plan can be accessed on the Coalition website: FY21 Work Plan.
