SUMMARY:MCDITE Webinar Series: International Award Winning Projects
DESCRIPTION:  \n\n\n\nTwo of ITE Mid Colonial District Project of the Year submissions were honored with Transportation Achievement Awards at the ITE International Meeting in Orlando\, FL. Come Join us to listen to these fantastic projects and see for yourself why they deserved these ITE International Awards! In this webinar\, MCDITE brings to you the two award winning presentations \nPDHs will be offered for this event. \nAgenda:\n\n12:00pm-12:05pm – Welcome/District Announcements\n12:05pm-12:35pm – DDOT Medium Scale Delivery Method (Beth Turner\, DDOT and Othman Chebli\, Mead & Hunt)\n12:35pm-1:05pm – PA Work Zone Safety Camera Pilot Program (Brian Crossley\, PennDOT\, Chad Smith\, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission\, and Mahmood Shehata\, RK&K)\n1:05pm-1:10pm – Final Business Announcements/Adjourn\n\n$30 ITE Members/$40 Non-Members \nREGISTER HERE\n\n  \n\nDDOT Medium Scale Delivery Method – Beth Turner\, DDOT and Othman Chebli\, Mead & Hunt\n2025 ITE International Transportation Achievement Award: Complete Streets \nThe gap between DDOT’s Large Capital Design & Construction Projects and Small Site-Specific Projects highlighted the need for a dedicated method for the delivery of medium-scale projects. \nMedium-scale projects work within the existing curb-to-curb width\, use primarily “quick build” materials\, and minimize geo-metric work and impacts to utilities and right-of-way. The result is meaningful improvements to promote safety across modes. DDOT’s new medium-scale project delivery approach uses several innovative means and methods to accelerate project delivery. These methods drive DDOT’s decision-making and keep the focus on the true purpose and need of these projects\, improving safety outcomes for all road users. \n  \n\n\n\nBeth Turner\, PE\, PTOE\nOthman Chebli\n\n\nMultimodal Engineering Design Manager (DDOT)\nMultimodal Project Delivery Leader (Mead & Hunt)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \nBeth Turner is a transportation engineer with over 12 years of experience in multimodal design and engineering. Her background is in traffic operations\, however in her current role at DDOT\, she manages the design team in the Multimodal Project Delivery Division. She leads a multidisciplinary team of traffic\, roadway and stormwater engineers who design medium scale projects in the District. These projects include bus priority\, protected bike lanes\, vision zero hardening and the annual safety improvement program. Beth holds a bachelor’s and master’s degree in civil engineering from UVA and is from Arlington\, VA. In her spare time\, Beth loves cycling with friends and spending time with her French bulldog Wilbur. \n.  \nOthman Chebli is a transportation engineer with over a decade of experience planning\, designing\, and delivering multimodal projects in urban settings. He spent over 12 years at the District Department of Transportation (DDOT)\, where he advanced through multiple roles\, ultimately serving as Associate Director for Multimodal Project Delivery. In that role\, Othman built a multidisciplinary team responsible for delivering citywide programs such as Bus Priority\, Protected Bike Lanes\, and Citywide Safety Improvements. His team delivered capital projects across all eight wards\, with a strong emphasis on safety\, cross-disciplinary coordination\, context-sensitive design\, and accelerated project delivery. \nOthman now is a Multimodal Project Delivery Leader at Mead & Hunt\, where he supports public agencies in developing and implementing street improvement projects. He holds both a Bachelor’s and Master’s degree in Civil and Environmental Engineering from the University of Maryland.\n\n\n\n\n  \nPA Work Zone Speed Safety Camera Pilot Program – Brian Crossley\, PennDOT\, Chad Smith\, Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission\, and Mahmood Shehata\, RK&K\n2025 ITE International Transportation Achievement Award: Safety \nThe Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) and the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission (PA Turnpike)\, in partnership with the Pennsylvania State Police (PSP)\, are implementing a statewide Work Zone Speed Safety Cameras (WZSSC) program to reduce work zone speeds\, change driver behavior\, and improve work zone safety for workers and motorists.  Initially authorized as a five year pilot program in 2018 and made permanent in 2023\, the program has proved its efficacy in changing behavior as evidenced through observed speeds and through the program’s relatively low 16.85% repeat offense rate between 2020 and 2023.  The program was featured in a Case Study published by the Federal Highway Administration and has served as a model for similar programs across the country. \n\n\n\nBrian Crossley\, PennDOT\n\nChad Smith\, PA Turnpike Commission\nMahmood Shehata\, RK&K\n\n\nManager\, Temporary Traffic Control Unit\n\nSenior Engineering Project Manager\n\nDirector\, Transportation\n\n\n\nBrian is the manager of the Temporary Traffic Control Unit in PennDOT’s Bureau of Operations in Central Office. Brian’s roles include oversight and development of publications\, policies and trainings related to work zones for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Brian also serves as the Department’s program manager for the Work Zone Speed Safety Camera program\, the LaneEval work zone analysis tool\, and assistant manager for the Department’s LaneRez System. Additionally\, he serves on several national work zone and technical advisory committees including the National Committee on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (NCUTCD). Brian has over twenty-eight years with the Department with most of that time spent overseeing work zone safety and mobility.\nChad has been with the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission since 2012 and currently serves as a Senior Engineer Project Manager in the Traffic Engineering and Operations Department.  He supports the goals of the Traffic Engineering Unit in several ways including serving as the Commission Project Manager for the Work Zone Speed Safety Camera Program\, Construction Liasson\, and Manager of the Traffic and Revenue contracts. \nChad received his Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the Pennsylvania State University\, and a Graduate Certificate in Transportation Planning and Operations from the University of Florida.  He is a licensed Professional Engineer and Professional Traffic Operations Engineer.  Chad is also a licensed drone pilot in support of the Commission’s UAS program.  He recently served as an NCHRP panelist focusing on crash prediction methods of long-term work zones. \nPrior to joining the Turnpike\, Chad has worked 7 years at PennDOT and 5 years in consulting.\nMahmood serves as a Director overseeing transportation and traffic\, as well as leading RK&K’s speed safety camera program management portfolio\, which includes several statewide programs such as Pennsylvania’s work zone program. His 24 years of experience includes traffic engineering (design\, operational analysis)\, and transportation engineering and planning. He is a proud graduate of the (lower case) Pennsylvania State University and is a licensed Professional Engineer in 8 states. Mahmood also brings a long history of service with ITE\, currently serving as the 2025 President of the ITE Mid-Colonial District\, and is a 2020 graduate of LeadershipITE.
