Within the United States Department of Transportation exists an agency called the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) which was created on October 15, 1966. The FHWA supports State and local governments in design, construction, and maintenance of the Nation’s highway system. The Administration’s mainly responsible for making sure that the highways and roads continue to be among the safest and most technologically available in the world. The FHWA core highway topics are: environmental, federal and Indian lands, highway funding, international, research and technologies, roads and bridges, road users, safety, and road operations and congestion. In order for the FHWA to cover all those topics mentioned earlier the administration has many offices one of which is the Office of Operations.

All state facilities impacted by the project area, which include State Routes 60, 71, and 83 and Interstate I-15, should be analyzed in the traffic study; intersections impacted by the project should also be analyzed. Where applicable, synchro analyses, merge/diverge analyses, and queuing analyses are recommended to analyze such mitigation measures as signalized intersections and ramp interchanges. The data used in the Traffic Impact Study should not be more than 2 years old.

Project team plays a critical role in the successful completion of a project. It sounds like the current project team has a diversified portfolio and apparently has different skills and qualifications than their assigned tasks, one example was about the structural review that was carried out by a nuclear chemist instead of a structural engineer.

I conduct traffic engineering studies to evaluate roadways and intersections on its performance with respect to operation and safety. The studies include capacity analysis on the existing condition along with alternatives considered and analyzing crash data. I consider alternative intersections, such as roundabouts and RCUTs, as part of my analysis. Based on study, I would provide recommendations for short-term and long-term improvements to the roadway. I have design minor road projects either adding a new lane or constructing a roundabout at an intersection. These projects are primarily geometric design but have included drainage and pavement design. I also conduct speed studies on highways, calculating the 85th percentile of free flow speeds.

There is a wide range of community problems that exist in the city of El Paso, Texas ranging from gender, violence, education, and even health. Yet, there is a greater issue that usually everyone notices and falls victim for but is mostly unthought of and ignored by many due to the impotence of finding a solution to it. This problematic issue is the road-work going on all around the community. Whether it consists of fixing something as simple as a street light to adding new rails, pavement, or sidewalks these projects become a lifetime of problems to all the members of the city. These projects have a timeline that is mostly never met due to the poor management of time and of working conditions that come along with the projects.

This essay will discuss the factors that need to be considered when constructing a major highway.

One of the greatest accomplishments of Miami-Dade County during this quarter is the adoption of Complete Streets Design Guidelines. The Miami-Dade County Commission adopted a resolution (R-627-17) on June 6 establishing policy that the county’s streets should be designed in accordance with the Complete Streets Design Guidelines. The adoption and implementation of the Complete Streets Design Guidelines will empower engineers and planners to design, construct and operate roads in a way that balances all modes of transportation within a context-sensitive approach that takes street typology and land use types into consideration when planning street enhancements. The Completes Streets Guidelines is the product of the Safer

Community revitalization as a research problem can be an inspiring endeavor. Community revitalization itself and the change management approaches used can bring about significant change that can yield extraordinary results to areas for many years to come. The current community change effort, Impact Lufkin, in Lufkin, TX is an example of this type of work in action. Beames (2016) states that “the Impact Lufkin group was started by the T.L.L. Temple Foundation and is made up of several other community leaders.” Beames (2016) continues that “the goal is to help develop the area that has been neglected by many and help bring services in that many residents have trouble accessing.”

Human resources will play a key role in hiring technically skilled team members to work on the project. The team makeup can be the deciding factor between the success and failure of a project. Human resources has the daunting task of looking for and securing team members who have the needed talents to become an asset to the project’s success. The analysis of potential team members, including technical work experience and background checks, will fall on the shoulders of human resources and is absolutely essential before beginning the project.

The research question for this research proposal is: is participation in a Housing First program effective in preventing reoccurrences of child maltreatment with families who have a history of housing instability? This research proposal will examine the hypothesis: Families with a history of instability will be less likely to commit child maltreatment when they are enrolled in a Housing First program as compared to those who are not enrolled. A longitudinal design study will be used to test the hypothesis and a purposive sampling method will be used to recruit participants for this study. The participants will be randomly divided into two groups. One group will be enrolled in a Housing First program and the other will not

Today’s projects have dramatically increased in complexity, which requires a culturally and functionally diverse mix of individuals who must be assimilated into an effective unit – a project team. In order

The need for a full scale rural public transit system in Cleveland County has been identified frequently by community groups and local businesses, through formal research and by citizen participation at public meetings. Citizens for Full Scale Public Transit is a community group of concerned individuals originating in 2015 to promote the development of an improved public transit system in Cleveland County. Committee members take pride in presenting this proposal for a two year project to establish a new improved system of rural public transit which is widely available, affordable, accessible and efficient. The route proposed is a loop connecting the County’s three most populous towns Shelby, Kings Mountain, and Boiling Springs. Five buses would operate Monday through Saturday on a regularly set schedule, with stops at established locations which will run six times per day in both directions along this route. The system’s success would depend on a partnership with The Transportation Association of Cleveland County, as well as significant financial resources from the North Carolina Transportation Association and The American Public Transportation system. It is proposed that the contract to run the Transit services would tender to these established firms. This bus system will benefit local business, senior citizens, students, tourists, and all rural families in Cleveland County currently lacking affordable

Members to agree to attend meetings and undertake tasks assigned to them in order to make the project a success.

“From an engineering standpoint, this project will greatly improve traffic flow and safety for trucks, cars and buggies that use this intersection,” said Young, adding, “The design will also dramatically improve safety for pedestrians that cross this intersection.”

Making greenway networks a reality will require partnership between planners and advocates, on the one hand, and public officials controlling purse strings on the other. Local elected officials, particularly city council members and borough presidents, have to be reminded that greenways can multiply the value and variety of open space in the region at very low cost in public resources; under ISTEA, bike and pedestrian projects may be paid for using a 20/80 local/federal matching formula. What's more, by offering fresh air, recreation, quiet and sheer
