A project along stretch of I-82 in Georgia referred to as “The Ray” aims to implement a regenerative mobility ecosystem by integrating the highway structure and highway operations as seamlessly as possible with the surrounding landscape and land use. TRB will host a webinar on Monday, August 16, 2021 from 2:00-3:30 PM Eastern that will highlight a programmatic approach to roadside design and management. The presenter will go over life cycle roadside vegetation management planning and execution. They will focus on the resulting research and data through a series of case study projects within The Ray. The webinar will also discuss the practice of installing and maintaining green technology as part of the roadside landscape.

This webinar was organized by the Standing Technical Committee on Roadside Maintenance Operations.
