Register for the EDC-5 Orientation Webinars on the Use of Crowdsourcing to Advance Operations

Three images: 1) Traffic accident of scene of crash on highway, 2) Traffic Operation Center - image of building, 3) Real-time Driver Data - image of interstate with dots going to the vehicles from the Traffic Operation Center

Interested in learning how crowdsourcing can cost-effectively improve your operations strategies and systems while increasing safety? Listen to this orientation webinar as the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) launches the Every Day Counts (EDC) Round 5 initiative on the Use of Crowdsourcing to Advance Operations. Crowdsourcing turns transportation system users into data generators on system performance, providing real-time, high-quality data on traffic operations, conditions, and driver behavior.
