Pavement condition data is collected using different technologies, vendors, and protocols. When these data are not directly comparable across locations or over time, integrating them is critical to supporting accurate, consistent, and defensible pavement management decisions. TRB will host a webinar on Monday, October 26, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern that will explore effective practices for integrating and managing disparate pavement condition data within pavement management systems (PMS). Presenters will discuss methods for standardizing, calibrating, correlating, and validating data to improve consistency and reliability in PMS analyses.

Transportation professionals regularly develop emails, technical guidance, reports, and public-facing materials that communicate an agency’s decisions and actions. Precise, objective language can help agencies communicate clearly while avoiding statements that may unintentionally create or increase liability. TRB will host a webinar on Thursday, October 29, 2026 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern that will examine legal concepts related to liability-neutral language and how they apply to transportation communications. Presenters will share examples of language that can introduce unnecessary risk, including subjective terms such as “dangerous,” or “sufficient,” and demonstrate how statements can be revised using objective, fact-based language. Attendees will learn practical approaches for critically reviewing their own writing and improving internal and public-facing communications.
