12:00 PM - 1:30 PM (EST)

Past

About

Advancements in 3D model-based design are reshaping how transportation projects are reviewed, managed, and delivered. TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, November 25, 2025 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that shared new practices developed through NCHRP Project 10-113 that help state departments of transportation (DOTs) modernize design quality management for the digital age. The session outlined a new guide for 3D model-based design and digital delivery, featuring process and product control approaches, open data standards, and a five-step review process to audit and certify digital designs. Presenters demonstrated tools that support implementation and discussed how agencies can apply these practices to strengthen design quality management and improve project delivery outcomes.

This webinar was based on NCHRP Research Report 1153: Digital Model–Based Project Development and Delivery: A Guide for Quality Management and NCHRP Web-Only Document 428: Quality Management for Digital Model-Based Project Development and Delivery.

TRB Webinar: Improving Teen Driver Safety

October 28, 2025

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM (EDT)

Past

About

The latest National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) data indicates that fatality and crash rates among teen drivers have been increasing over the past few years. TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, October 28, 2025 from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM Eastern that discussed the results from two BTSCRP reports that used naturalistic driving data to gain a broader understanding of the risks facing teen drivers. Presenters shared evidence on how the amount of time spent with supervised experience in different roadway environments can improve safety outcomes once teens begin driving independently. Presenters also discussed how distraction, specifically “eyes off the road,” changes with driving experience and why attention to the forward roadway is especially critical for teen learners. Newly-published findings compare risky driving and crash rates with for teens with distraction factors like Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder.

This webinar was based on BTSCRP Research Report 13: Outcomes of Variability in Teen Driving Experience and Exposure: Evidence from the Naturalistic Driving Study and BTSCRP Research Report 15: Teen Driving Performance Associated with Distraction, ADHD, and Other Risk Factors.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program.

When risk management is proactively integrated into organizational decision-making, with risks clearly officially documented and considered, it leads to better management of resources and a culture of preparedness. TRB hosted a webinar on Monday, October 27, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern that focused on three levels of risk management: enterprise, program, and project. Presenters shared key needs, challenges, and knowledge gaps associated with integrating risk management, along with evidence-based strategies to sustain these practices within transportation agencies. Presenters also introduced a website and digital content that provide guidance, examples, and tools to support transportation stakeholders in building and maintaining effective risk management frameworks.

This webinar was based on NCHRP Research Report 1146: Risk Management at State DOTs: Building Momentum and Sustaining the Practice.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s National Cooperative Highway Research Program.

Presentation - TRB Webinar: Building and Sustaining a Competitive Economy

About

The U.S. economy would not function without transportation. Goods move from producers to consumers, workers travel from home to workplaces, and consumers travel to purchase goods and services or pay to have goods delivered. Transportation infrastructure, the backbone of the nation’s transportation system, has been built up over more than a century of economic and population growth and expansion, and its condition and performance directly affect the economy. TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, October 21, 2025 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that explored how transportation benefits and costs influence the development of a strong, competitive economy. Adequate investment in transportation infrastructure by the public and private sectors is essential for ongoing and future prosperity, yet many barriers inhibit coordination among land use regulation, transportation policies, and infrastructure investment decisions, leading to missed opportunities and suboptimal outcomes. Presenters discussed how transportation supports economic growth and supply chain resilience, examined strategies to align infrastructure investment with economic development goals, and highlighted performance measures that demonstrate the economic impact of transportation systems.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Executive Office.

Presentation - TRB Webinar: Displaying Good Traffic Safety Messages on Variable Message Signs

About

Messages on variable message signs’ effectiveness depends on how they are designed and displayed. TRB hosted a webinar on Tuesday, September 9, 2025 from 1:00 PM to 2:00 PM Eastern that explored how behavioral science and human factors shape the effectiveness of safety messaging on variable message signs. Presenters shared findings from human factors studies that assess how quickly and accurately drivers comprehend messages when displayed for limited viewing times. Presenters also highlighted guidelines developed to optimize the content and display of traffic safety messages.

This webinar was based on BTSCRP Report 3: Behavioral Traffic Safety Messaging on Variable Message Signs.

This webinar was sponsored by TRB’s Behavioral Traffic Safety Cooperative Research Program.

The slides are available. Please visit the webinar details page to access the recording.

Presentation - TRB Webinar Aviation Supply Chain Problems and Industry Response

About

The demand for air travel is outpacing the ability of original equipment manufacturers and their suppliers to deliver new aircraft. Manufacturers are missing delivery orders and falling short of promised production rates due to a mix of management issues, limited oversight, strained supply lines, and labor shortages. As a result, airlines are delaying or canceling new routes and cutting capacity, leading to higher airfares and fewer service options for consumers. TRB hosted a webinar on Monday, August 25, 2025 from 12:00 PM to 1:30 PM Eastern that explored the extent of aircraft production problems and the various factors that have contributed to them. Presenters shared stakeholder perspectives and identified what manufacturers and governments are doing to address the problems and the impact on consumers.

Professional Development Hours

Professional engineers (PEs) who register and attend the entire webinar as an individual will be awarded 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs). TRB’s webinar program awards PDH credits only to the registered individual, and not to other members of a group that view the webinar together. To be eligible for the credits, individuals must remain signed in for the entire webinar, including any question and answer session following the presentations.
