After seeing a road striping machine in Arizona, SCT built one from existing used equipment. A snowplow was developed the same way. The SCT upgraded obsolete computers donated by the Arizona DOT and installed maintenance and design software programs. The SCT is also developing a motor carrier information program that will provide Arizona officials with easy access to Sonora's records. The technical areas covered by the BTEP encompass the essentials of road transportation program delivery topics.
Different States bring different emphases to their relationships.
California is spearheading binational planning efforts while Texas and New Mexico provide training expertise and on-site technical support. As the cooperation expands, so will the depth of program activities. Each vehicle is moved based on dynamic interactions among roadway conditions, traffic control, positions of adjacent vehicles, vehicle characteristics, driver behaviors, etc. In turn, this enables the effective and efficient application of this powerful tool to a wider range of traffic engineering problems. N early 100 people attended the Nationwide Personal Transportation Survey Symposium held from October 29 to 31 in Bethesda, Maryland.
