During the past year, TTI researchers have compiled the most comprehensive library available on roadway work zone safety. Users can take advantage of the Clearinghouse databases and electronic linkages to find information about the following topics. Successful strategies for public education and outreach programs. State specifications related to work zone safety. Training courses, seminars, and products.
Research reports on new technologies.
State work zone contacts and best practices for improving work zone safety. Current laws and regulations to improve work zone safety. Board members are also involved in helping develop long-term financial support for the project. The FHWA is providing the initial seed money for the project, which is to become fully self-sustaining by October of 2000. Platinum, Gold, Silver, Bronze, and Friends of the Clearinghouse sponsorships are available.
