The @MyFDOT installed asphalt speed tables in a busy Sarasota-area corridor to slow vehicles and improve safety for residents, pedestrians, and visitors. The traffic-calming measure targets speeding concerns in high-foot-traffic areas and aims to reduce crashes while maintaining access and mobility along the roadway. #FDOT #TrafficCalming #RoadSafety spotonflorida.com/west-central-f…

The Ray partnered with the City of Doraville to install a pollinator meadow at a major transportation hub, transforming underused roadside land into productive green infrastructure. Completed February 28, 2026, the project improves land value, visibility, and sustainability. Native plants reduce maintenance costs, enhance stormwater management, and filter pollution. Led by local officials, the initiative demonstrates how strategic public-private collaboration can deliver environmental and economic benefits through innovative land stewardship. theray.org/our-news/the-r…

Integrating Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and Building Information Modeling (BIM) is transforming infrastructure by breaking down data silos between spatial mapping and detailed building models. Unified digital systems improve coordination, accuracy, and decision-making, enabling more efficient design, construction, and asset management while reducing errors and unlocking greater value across project lifecycles. #GIS #SmartCities #infrastructure geoweeknews.com/news/gis-and-b…

State DOT leaders discussed priorities for the next federal surface transportation reauthorization as the current law expires in 2026. Officials emphasized maintaining and increasing formula funding, addressing inflation-driven construction costs, preserving state flexibility, and ensuring predictable investment to plan and deliver national transportation projects efficiently. #TransportationPolicy #Infrastructure aashtojournal.transportation.org/state-dot-ceos…

Midtown Atlanta’s Juniper Street Transformation Project is now complete. This project included upgrading 12 blocks (14th St to Ponce de Leon) into a complete street with protected bike lanes, wider sidewalks, stormwater planters, new lighting, trees, and improved signals to enhance safety and mobility for bikes, pedestrians, and vehicles. #MidtownATL #BikeSafety #PedestrianFriendly midtownatl.com/project/junipe…

North Carolina A&T State University launched a street safety initiative with the City of Greensboro and @NCDOT to improve pedestrian and roadway safety near campus. The project will test safety strategies, engage the community, and support research to reduce crashes and create safer streets for students, residents, and drivers. #RoadSafety #Transportation #NCDOT #SafeStreets yahoo.com/news/articles/…

A snowplow in Idaho was struck by a passing vehicle, highlighting ongoing safety risks for winter road crews. Transportation officials say many crashes occur when drivers attempt to pass plows or fail to slow down. Authorities urge motorists to give snowplows space, stay back, and drive cautiously during winter conditions. #RoadSafety #TransportationSafety #SafeRoads ktvb.com/video/news/loc…

@ThusSpokeStella Great question! Actually, with high-quality, diverse, and native vegetation, pollinator mortality rates will be lower because pollinators are attracted to these habitats rather than wandering onto roads, where they can be harmed.

Roadside vegetation like native wildflowers and grasses could help restore habitats for declining pollinators such as bees and butterflies. Researchers highlight roadsides as underused conservation spaces that can support biodiversity and crop pollination if managed carefully, offering a practical strategy to strengthen ecosystems and agricultural resilience. #PollinatorProtection #RoadsideHabitat #Biodiversity #Bees minnesotaagconnection.com/news/roadside-…

Researchers at the Connecticut Transportation Institute received over $17 million in grants to use AI and improved crash data systems to study roadway safety. The projects will analyze vehicle and pedestrian interactions, upgrade crash reporting for emerging technologies like e-bikes, and help communities make data-driven traffic safety decisions. #RoadSafety #AI #TransportationResearch #UConn #TrafficSafety #SmartInfrastructure dailycampus.com/2026/03/04/con…
