TRB xonducted a webinar on Wednesday, March 29, 2017 from 2:00 to 4:00 PM ET that featured research from the
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)’s
Report 785: Performance-Based Analysis of Geometric Design of Highways and Streets. This webinar presented two significant steps in advancing multimodal design of highways and streets: incorporating performance-based analysis into the project development process, and developing a comprehensive, flexible design process that considers the context of the facility and the performance of various modes. Presenters also discussed an update to AASHTO’s Guidelines for Geometric Design of Very Low-Volume Roads,
NCHRP Report 839: A Performance-Based Highway Geometric Design Process.
Participants must register in advance of the webinar, and there is a fee for non-TRB Sponsor or non-TRB Sustaining Affiliate employees. . A certificate for 2.0 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who registered and attended the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at
