Title:
Weather and Highways: Report of a Policy Forum
Abstract:
The American Meteorological Society (AMS) developed a forum to foster vigorous policy level dialogues, which led to recommendations on how to improve the safety and operations of the nation's highway system through better application of weather information. The forum took place over two days in November 2003. It consisted of three panel discussions focused on present and near-term potential in providing weather information to improve the highway system, public and industrial development of strategies to effectively respond to weather information, and policy issues in implementing effective application of weather services to the management of the nation's highway system. The forum discussions led to six recommendations directed at improving the safety and efficiency of the roads for the ultimate benefit of the traveling public. The panelists' position papers, along with a policy white paper prepared for the forum, are available on the AMS Website at http://www.ametsoc.org/atmospolicy/2003transportationforum.html.
