SAFETY TRACK One element of the Rural Safety Initiative is the Rural Safety Innovation Program (RSIP). The goal of the RSIP is to improve rural road safety by assisting rural communities in addressing highway safety problems and by providing rural communities the opportunity to compete for project funding to address these problems. This session provided an overview of the ITS portions of the program as well as highlighted RSIP sites. Moderator: Linda Dodge, ITS JPO, USDOT Speakers/Panelists - |

Session C2: Project Deployment (back to Session List) Beginning over a decade ago, the California Oregon Advanced Transportation System (COATS) partnership has served as an incubator for the development and deployment of innovative rural ITS applications. This presentation covered the history of COATS, accomplishments and products, and future directions and technologies. To compliment this long-term project deployment perspective was a presentation from the Washington State Department of Transportation on the rapid deployment of several ITS traveler information and communication components related to the removal and replacement of the Hood Canal Bridge. In addition to the traveler information components, this presentation will cover interjurisdictional cooperation, GIS tools, staffing needs, addition of temporary emergency operations centers, etc. Lastly, attendees heard what the Seattle Transportation Department, in cooperation with the Washington State Department of Transportation, is doing in preparation for the six-year construction of the Alaskan Way Viaduct project. The approach used is sure to be of interest to agencies wishing to participate in the second phase of the Economic Recovery Plan or for other agencies needing solutions for time sensitive delivery.

SAFETY TRACK Multidisciplinary training is critical to effective TIM. Typical training tends to focus on urban issues and does not address the TIM problems and needs unique to rural areas. With nearly three-quarters of the National Highway System located in rural areas, a need exists to recognize the importance of TIM for rural roadways. This 4-hour workshop concentrated on rural TIM and targeted transportation and public safety agencies/personnel that respond to highway emergencies in these areas. The workshop was highly interactive and included a combination of seminars, case study discussions, and hands-on exercises (as time allowed). Specific topics that were covered include: • TIM Fundamentals (including the National Unified Goal for TIM and associated strategies) Instructors - |

| SAFETY TRACK TSAG Case Studies Workshop (back to Session List) Continuing its 2009 Case Studies Workshop (CSW) series, the Transportation Safety Advancement Group (TSAG) scheduled this rural focused workshop and webinar in conjunction with the National Rural ITS (NRITS) Conference in Seaside, Oregon. The 3-hour workshop reviewed the January 2008 motor coach crash near Mexican Hat, Utah and was led by Utah Highway Patrol and Utah DOT presenters directly engaged in emergency services in response to the crash which resulted in 9 fatalities and 43 injuries. The focus of the TSAG CSW series is to review major incidents and events from ITS and advanced technologies perspectives to identify emergency response and technologies successes, failures, and lessons-learned. An Audio/Presentation of the Workshop will be available after September 30th on the RITA website - to learn more go to http://www.pcb.its.dot.gov/t3/s090826_tsag_rural.asp. |
