TRB conducted a webinar on Wednesday, August 10, 2016 from 1:00PM to 2:30PM ET that discussed research from
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
Report 802: Volume Reduction of Highway Runoff in Urban Areas: Guidance Manual. The manual outlines a process for the reduction of stormwater volumes in urban highway environments. The presenters discussed the five step process and implementation practices for the identification, evaluation, and design of solutions for runoff volume reduction based on site-specific conditions.
A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who registered and attended the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at
