Don't forget! The 2024 America’s Transportation Awards competition is now accepting nominations through this Friday, April 19. Now in its 17th year, this program aims to showcase the exceptional work state DOTs are undertaking daily. Their efforts enhance the quality of life, drive economic development, leverage innovative technologies, programs, and processes, and ultimately foster safer communities. Sponsored by AASHTO, AAA, and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the competition this year features a new safety category and increases the number of projects a state DOT can nominate to four (instead of the traditional three). Each state DOT may submit a total of four entries (bonus points are allotted to states that submit three different projects–one per category). The same project cannot be entered in more than one category. Learn more here: https://bit.ly/3MP18E8 Nominate here: https://bit.ly/4bVxEA2

RII recently participated in the American Short Line and Regional Railroad Association (ASLRRA) conference held in Kansas City, Missouri. The event proved to be an exceptional experience, fostering connections and showcasing the collaborative spirit of the railroad industry. The conference boasted an impressive turnout, with over 1,700 attendees and 200+ exhibitors. This vast #network provided a platform for knowledge sharing and collaboration. RII representatives actively engaged in information sessions, gaining valuable insights into the latest industry trends and best practices. One of the key takeaways from the conference was the profound sense of community within the railroad industry. Although often perceived as one of the smallest niches, it has countless sectors within which encompasses a diverse range of specialties. Events like ASLRRA serve as a vital space where these diverse groups can converge and drive innovation in an ever-changing world. By participating in such events, #RII remains committed to staying at the forefront of the railroad industry and contributing to its continued success. #railroadindustries #Industryconference #Collaboration #KansasCity #ShortLineRailroads #GrowthMindset

This year's transportation "nerd prom" did not disappoint. If I had to ID one big takeaway, it's the idea of "self enforcing" infrastructure - mainly streets and bikeways. Traffic calming design self-regulates vehicle speed - and with e-bikes, trail and shared-use path calming is set to become a new facet of design. Roundabouts continue to work during outages. Importantly, self-enforcing roadways reduce police interaction that could (and has) resulted in excessive and disproportionate use of force in lower income neighborhoods. This has led to needed reform, but as several speakers noted, a reduction in enforcement needed to curb post-COVID unsafe driving trends. Look for more discussion on this timely topic this year. #completestreets, #TCampDC24; #TRBAM
