Very enthusiastic to be in Colorado with Belen Marcos to meet the teams of Northwest Parkway, a 14 km tolled section of the Denver ring road located in one of the most dynamic state in the US. Acquired in April, it’s VINCI Concessions’ first traffic risk project in the US and it reinforces our presence in the country. Our teams will apply there VINCI Highways’ expertise to optimize management of the infrastructure by bringing some services back in-house, to improve user experience and travel time reliability. I look forward to see very soon the positive impact of those operational synergies and how #PositiveMobility continues its journey in North America! #DenverRingRoad #Colorado #FreeFlow

Electric vehicles are useful for reducing overall automobile emissions, but with an increasing number of EVs on the road it is important to have the right tools to address potential safety hazards. 🚒 We at Northwest Parkway LLC are proud to have worked with our local authorities at the Broomfield Police Department and North Metro Fire Rescue District stations 66 and 67 in the City and County of Broomfield for a safety training on the dangers and treatment of EV fires. The Parkway donated two EV fire blankets that will allow firefighters to contain such fires, creating time to address the surrounding areas. The blankets can reduce EV fire heat from 1400C to 120C, and prevent development of the fire’s toxic gas, extreme heat, and hazardous waste. 🔥Unlike regular fires, an electric vehicle’s lithium-ion battery creates fire that cannot be readily extinguished by water. An EV fire blanket smothers the fire and deprives it of the oxygen needed to burn – saving time and water, and clearing the hazard faster. The Northwest Parkway LLC prioritizes safety and the best practices that can create an effective safety culture for our roadway and operations. This is intended for the employees, contractors, partners, and drivers who travel and work along the Parkway. 🧯Fun fact: one EV fire blanket weighs 62 pounds and takes four people to apply! #SafetyFirst VINCI Concessions VINCI Highways #VINCIHighways #SafetyWeek #FireSafety #ElectricVehicles #EVs #SustainableTransport

Did you know that Denver's high altitude means that our solar panels receive more radiation than would a sea level installation, resulting in more generation of electricity? The Northwest Parkway not only features beautiful surroundings but also makes it easier to support environmental goals! In the future we plan to enhance our solar production. Today, we visited the existing facility, as part of our participation in #VINCIEnvironmentDay! #RenewableEnergy #Decarbonization #NetZero #EnvironmentDay #VINCIHighways VINCI Highways

Thank you our partner and neighbor E-470 for promoting and featuring our toll tunnel museum!
Closed to the public but you can see it here! Northwest Parkway turned its tolling tunnels into a museum, preserving all kinds of tolling memorabilia! 🛣️ Toll booth operators used to walk through these underground tunnels to get to their booths safely.

Mark - Thank you for being part of the team and for helping advancing this important initiative! Also, thank you to the IBTTA leadership for this milestone.
Vice President, Policy and Government Affairs, International Bridge Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA)
SUSTAINABILITY & RESILIENCE. Last week, the International Bridge, Tunnel and Turnpike Association (IBTTA) Board of Directors endorsed a "Sustainability and Resilience Framework" document, which is a step forward toward a green and robust future for tolling operations, organizations, and infrastructure. IBTTA acknowledges transportation’s greenhouse gas emissions and the toll industry’s role to address the effects on the environment. The "Sustainability and Resilience Framework" establishes how IBTTA will make a difference, the actions we will take, and the partnerships we will seek to get the job done. Our next steps are designed to help members understand and adopt sustainable investments, operating practices, and business processes aligned with two primary objectives of (1) decarbonization and (2) resilience. Each objective will explore a unique focus on data and measurements, partnerships, and social impact to drive our efforts forward. Learn more about the IBTTA Board action in the press release (https://lnkd.in/euZNFf_7) and access the "Sustainability and Resilience Framework" summary (https://lnkd.in/ey-n_zTK) for more detail. #IBTTA #transportation #sustainability #resilience #climatechange #tolling

Electrifying! After 18 years of serving us well we finally replaced our company pick-truck for the new F150 Lightning. Here parked next to our newly installed level-2 EV charging stations, benefiting from a state grant from Colorado Charge Ahead. A few steps toward net-zero goal and a more sustainable transportation! #ESG, #sustainability, #transportation, #evcharging
