Clarus: A Clear Solution for Road Weather Information (Flyer)

Abstract:

This two-page flyer describes the U.S. DOT Clarus Initiative. Clarus is the 21st Century's answer to the need for timely, high quality road weather information. The new road weather and forecasting capabilities created by Clarus will collect weather observations from both weather and transportation sources and turn them into valuable road weather information. The flyer includes the anticipated benefits of the Clarus System to transportation managers, weather information providers and travelers.
