SUMMARY:MCDITE Webinar Series: Highlights of the Project of the Year Submissions
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nThe Mid-Colonial District had great submissions for Project of the Year! We’re here to bring you the highlights! Join your fellow ITE members to experience three outstanding presentations from the 2025 Call for Project of the Year Submissions. This session will cover a breadth of topics including technology\, safety\, and congestion mitigation across the District’s geography. \nPDHs will be offered for this event. \nAgenda:\n\n12:30pm-12:35pm – Welcome/District Announcements\n12:35pm-1:00pm – Reduced Crash Thresholds for All-Way Stop Control at Low-Volume Intersections (Sonya Lagrand\, DelDOT)\n1:00pm-1:25pm – AI-ITMS (Ziyi Ma\, Blue Halo)\n1:25pm-1:50pm – Virtual Queue Protection Corridors (Scott Benedict and Ryan McNary\, PennDOT)\n1:50pm-2:00pm – Final Business Announcements/Adjourn\n\n$30 ITE Members/$40 Non-Members \nREGISTER HERE\n\n  \n\nReduced Crash Thresholds for All-Way Stop Control at Low-Volume Intersections – Sonya Lagrand\, DelDOT\nIn support of the SHSP objective to reduce intersection fatalities and serious injuries by 15% over the next five years\, DelDOT studied the safety benefits of installing All-Way Stop Control (AWSC) at low volume intersections—generally intersections with minor street volumes that are below 200 vehicles per hour—and which may not have met the crash warrant guidance contained in the 2009 Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Specifically\, DelDOT performed a statistical analysis of crash data to determine if the conversion of low-volume\, unsignalized intersections from Minor Road Stop Control (MRSC) to AWSC would be justified\, even if the intersection may not meet the crash thresholds for AWSC that are provided as guidance in the MUTCD. The data from nearly 40 intersections studied showed that converting low-volume intersections from Minor Road Stop Control (MRSC) to All Way Stop Control (AWSC) resulted in a significant reduction in crashes\, including a 100% reduction in fatal crashes and a 76% reduction in injury crashes! Furthermore\, the data showed that even intersections that did not meet the 2009 MUTCD crash thresholds for AWSC experienced a reduction in crashes\, including a 100% reduction in injury crashes and a 53% reduction in injury crashes. \n  \n\n\n\nSonya Legrand\, PE\, DelDOT\n\n\n\n\n\nSonya has over 20 years of experience at the Delaware Department of Transportation.  Her current role is Traffic Studies Manager in the Traffic Engineering section.  The team she manages fields over 1\,200 requests annually and conducts various traffic analyses including signal and all-way stop justification studies\, pedestrian and crosswalk studies\, speed studies\, roadway lighting and various other traffic related concerns that lead to the implementation low-cost safety countermeasures.  The Traffic Studies section also includes Delaware’s Traffic Calming Program that utilizes vertical\, horizontal\, and roadside measures as speed management tools.  Prior to her time in Traffic\, Sonya has worked in the Project Development section and the Maintenance and Operations division specializing in design\, contract development and administration.  Sonya is a Registered Professional Engineer in Delaware. She is a member of the AASHTO Council on Active Transportation and the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTCD) Regulatory and Warning Signs Technical Committee.  Sonya is a native of Petersburg\, Virginia and holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Civil Engineering from Old Dominion University.  \n\n\n\n\n  \nAI-ITMS – Ziyi Ma\, BlueHalo\nThe AI-ITMS is an innovative and comprehensive system that integrates AI-based Transportation Operations and Management System (AI-TOMS) with existing transportation infrastructure to improve monitoring\, congestion management\, and incident response. The system enhances the capabilities of DelDOT’s Transportation Management Center (TMC) by: \n\nPredicting traffic flows and identifying anomalies using deep learning models.\nAutomatically detecting and classifying traffic incidents on major highways such as I-95 and DE 1\, reducing response time and improving public safety.\nImplementing adaptive signal control strategies using predictive signal timing optimization to enhance arterial traffic flow.\nLeveraging machine vision technology to provide real-time traffic analysis and multimodal monitoring.\nProviding traveler information updates through an AI-driven notification system.\n\nThe project integrates over ten real-time traffic data sources\, covering 90% of all statewide ITMS devices\, to create a proactive\, data-driven transportation management framework. Beyond ATCMTD\, DelDOT has expanded its AI-ITMS program through two critical federal initiatives: the Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) Program and the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grant. These projects further DelDOT’s mission to enhance safety\, resilience\, and efficiency through state-of-the-art transportation technology. \n\n\n\nZiyi Ma\, PE\, Blue Halo\n\n\n\n\n\n\nZiyi Ma earned his Master of Science degree in Transportation Planning and Engineering and a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from New York University. He is a licensed professional engineer in the state of Virginia and Maryland. He is a Senior Transportation Engineer/Project Manager at AV\, focusing implementing Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) for Delaware Department of Transportation.

He has also contributed to various transportation projects\, traffic impact studies\, and ITS engineering projects.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nVirtual Queue Protection Corridors – Scott Benedict and Ryan McNary\, PennDOT\nThe Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) defines a secondary crash as “a crash that occurs as a result of an original crash either within the crash scene or within the queue or backup in either direction.” As the likelihood of a secondary crash increases by almost 3 percent for every minute a primary crash obstructs a travel lane\, it is crucial for transportation resource agencies to use all tools at their disposal to help prevent secondary crashes. Among other countermeasures recommended to combat the occurrence of secondary crashes\, FHWA cites “improving driver awareness” by relaying important information to travelers as one of its key strategies to improve overall safety as well as operational performance of the transportation system. \nDespite widespread industry acknowledgement that secondary traffic crashes are undeniably dangerous to motorists as well as first responders and others on the scene of incidents\, FHWA’s June 2023 paper Secondary Crash Research: A Multistate Analysis acknowledged that even now\, only a few States have collected data on secondary crashes to support research analyses and validation. \nDrawing on the recognized industry need to reduce the incidence of secondary crashes\, as well as the need for additional data on demonstrated safety and operational benefits\, PennDOT leveraged its position as a leader in innovative TSMO strategies to deliver a cost-effective\, data-driven project with measurable benefits: Virtual Queue Protection Corridors. \nIn recognition of this project’s innovative nature\, ability to advance the profession\, and applicability to the industry\, Virtual Queue Protection has already been recognized with several awards\, including the National Operations Center of Excellence (NOCoE) Overall TSMO Award and Best TSMO Project\, as well as the 2024 AASHTO Regional America’s Transportation Award for operations excellence. \n\n\n\nScott Benedict\, PennDOT\nRyan McNary\, PennDOT\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nScott Benedict is the Manager of the Traffic Systems and TSMO Performance Unit within the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation.

SUMMARY:MCDITE Webinar Series: Best of the District Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Couldn’t attend the District Annual Meeting? We’re here to bring you the highlights! Join your fellow ITE members to experience three outstanding presentations from the 2025 District Annual Meeting. This session will cover a breadth of topics including funding\, safety\, and congestion mitigation across the District’s geography. \n1.5 PDHs will be offered for this event. \nAgenda:\n\n\n\n\n\n12:30pm-12:35pm – Welcome/District Announcements\n12:35pm-1:00pm – SMART SCALE\, Show Me the Money! (Dan Goldfarb and Wendy Thomas\, ATCS)\n1:00pm-1:25pm – Navigating Rural Road Safety (Donna Hardy\, Mead & Hunt)\n1:25pm-1:50pm – DelDOT’s Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program (Will Tardy\, Jacobs and Austin Gray\, DelDOT)\n1:50pm-2:00pm – Final Business Announcements/Adjourn\n\n\n\n\n\n$20 ITE Members/$35 Non-Members \nREGISTER HERE\n\n  \n\nSMART SCALE\, Show Me the Money – Dan Goldfarb and Wendy Thomas\, ATCS\nSMART SCALE is Virginia’s process for prioritizing and selecting projects for funding to meet the most critical transportation needs and ensure the best use of limited tax dollars. SMART SCALE evaluates planned transportation projects based on key factors like how they improve safety\, reduce congestion\, increase accessibility\, contribute to economic development\, promote efficient land use\, and affect the environment. Project benefits are calculated in an objective manner and projects are scored and ranked. The results of the rankings are used by Virginia’s Commonwealth Transportation Board (CTB) to guide project selection decisions and the priorities to which transportation funds are allocated. \nThis presentation reviews how SMART SCALE connects planning and programming\, general characteristics of competitive transportation funding programs\, how funds can be allocated within these programs to drive achievement of objectives\, and lessons learned from the review process. \n  \n\n\n\nDan Golfarb PE\, PTP\, ATCS\nWendy Thomas\, ATCS\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDan Goldfarb\, PE\, PTP has worked in the transportation field for 30 years\, both in the United States and abroad. He has experience in multimodal analysis and transportation modeling for planning applications\, transportation demand management\, as well as traffic operational analysis. He is currently a senior project manager at ATCS. Dan holds a BA in political science from the University of Florida\, a BSCE from the University of Maryland\, and an MSCE Virginia Tech. He is a licensed professional engineer in Virginia.\nWendy Thomas brings more than 20 years of experience in transportation policy\, funding\, finance\, programming\, budgeting\, and program management. She specializes in developing funding strategies and navigating federal requirements throughout project planning\, development\, and delivery. Wendy is currently Infrastructure Finance Director at ATCS and previously held executive roles at the Virginia Department of Transportation responsible for Virginia’s Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP)\, $9 billion annual transportation budget\, $1.3 billion federal program\, and $4 billion debt portfolio.\n\n\n\n\n  \nNavigating Rural Road Safety – Donna Hardy\, Mead & Hunt\nAddressing systemic safety challenges in rural environments is drastically different from urban and suburban areas. In addition to the narrow winding geometry\, rural crashes involve ever changing weather patterns\, wildlife\, commercial vehicles\, motorcyclists\, long Emergency Medical Service response times\, and drivers unfamiliar with the rural terrain. One of the key challenges rural safety engineers face is visiting drivers from more urban areas navigating rural roadways. This presentation will provide an overview of challenges faced and solutions employed in West Virginia over the last 30 years. \nWest Virginia is considered the 3rd most rural state in America with none of its urban communities having a population over 50\,000. Public transit is not available throughout the State\, and drivers are faced with long daily commutes. The mountain state has seven distinct mountain ranges with elevation changes from 240’ to 4\,863’ above sea level. A remote and challenging drive along the two-lane country roads offers spectacular views but few services between towns. Though West Virginia as a whole has seen a reduction in fatalities\, 38 of its 55 counties are trending upward. All but two of these counties have road departure noted as the #1 concern\, with it ranking as the #2 issue within the other two. Navigating through these areas safely takes a comprehensive approach that includes ITS\, enhanced signing and pavement markings\, high friction surface treatment\, delineation and barrier. There are rural areas throughout the District which will require comprehensive safety improvements to reach zero fatalities. \n\n\n\nDonna Hardy\, PE\, RSP1\, Mead & Hunt\n\n\n\n\n\nDonna Hardy\, PE\, RSP1 is a professional engineer with 30 years of experience in traffic engineering at WVDOH and DelDOT.  After leaving WVDOH as the Assistant Director in Traffic Engineering she joined Mead & Hunt in June 2024 as a Senior Traffic Engineer.\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nDelDOT’s Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality (CMAQ) Program – Will Tardy\, Jacobs and Austin Gray\, DelDOT\nLearn about DelDOT’s Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Program (CMAQ) including where we are\, where we have been and where we are going! This presentation will start with some basic information about CMAQ\, including some background information on the history and federal regulations regarding types of transportation projects that can use CMAQ funds. Then we will pivot into Delaware/DelDOT specifics including the types of projects DelDOT has historically funded and how that has evolved over time. This presentation will include timelines and how we have set up the program over the past three – four years and some ideas for the future. The attendee will leave the presentation with some basic knowledge of Federal Guidelines as well as a basic knowledge of DelDOT’s CMAQ Program. This presentation will also include a high-level overview of some of the calculations the DelDOT team has developed in order to produce quantitative emissions results. \n\n\n\nWill Tardy\, AICP\, Jacobs\nAustin Gray\, Delaware Department of Transportation\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWill is an environmental planner with the Jacobs Solutions Inc.’s Baltimore Office.
