Title:

Winter Maintenance Technical Peer Exchange: A Final Report

Abstract:

The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, working closely with FHWA, took the lead in hosting the first Winter Maintenance Technical Peer Exchange in March 2005. The Winter Maintenance Technical Peer Exchange was an intense 2 ½ day exchange with Technical Experts from across the country representing LTAP/T2 Centers, State DOTs, and FHWA. The exchange was geared toward improving winter maintenance training, technical assistance, and knowledge resources; the identification of technology development needs; and the improvement of critical methodologies and networks (e.g. T2/LTAP). This technical exchange explored winter maintenance technology addressing operations, materials, equipment, planning, and communications with respect to safety, the environment, and traffic mobility.
