Pre-Bid Webinar for SHRP 2 Capacity Projects to Pilot Test TCAPP and T-PICS
Posted April 3, 2012
On March 20, 2012, the second Strategic Highway Research Program (SHRP
2) released two requests for proposals (RFPs). These RFPs will fund
pilot tests of the two largest SHRP 2 Capacity products: Transportation
for Communities—Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP), a
web-based guide to conducting collaborative transportation planning and
project development, and Transportation Project Impact Case Studies
(T-PICS), a web-based economic impacts assessment tool. The pilot test
projects are SHRP 2 Capacity project numbers C33 and C39. TRB conducted a webinar on Tuesday, March 27, 2012, to
provide information about the two pilot project RFPs to prospective
bidders. Opportunities were provided for questions and answers about
both RFPs.The webinar presentation is available as a PDF.
This session provided more information about TCAPP and T-PICS to help attendees decide whether they
want to prepare a proposal in response to the C33 and C39 RFPs, and
to help attendees prepare better proposals.
Presenter: David J. Plazak, Senior Program Officer, SHRP 2 Capacity

Recorded TRB Webinar: A Community Visioning Approach to Support the Collaborative
Decision-Making Framework for Transportation Investments
Posted April 19, 2011
Transportation practitioners strive to develop and maintain community
support to deliver a successful project. As a project moves through the
processes of planning, design and construction and becomes operational,
the early commitment to a consensus can erode. Visioning is a tool that
can help maintain consensus as the project progresses. On May 25, 2011, TRB conducted a web briefing or "webinar" that explored ways to more effectively incorporate the public involvement
process of community visioning into collaborative planning of new
highway capacity projects. SHRP 2 is developing a supporting framework
for visioning, known as
Transportation—Visioning for Communities (T-VIZ),
which enables broad, strategic outcomes of visioning to transfer to
specific, focused planning and project processes. Panelists presented
information about a model vision process, or Vision Guide, which is a
blueprint for the preparation, creation, and implementation of a
visioning process. This structured, simplified process can better
enable practitioners to engage in visioning during transportation
planning. For more details, view a summary of the webinar. Email Reggie Gillum at RGillum@nas.edu to receive a link to the recording of this session. There is no fee for employees of TRB sponsors to receive this recording. Others must pay $89.00 to receive a link to view this recorded session.
Recorded TRB Webinar: Expedited Planning and Environmental Review of Highway Projects
Posted May 6, 2011
On May 4, 2011, TRB held a webinar that identified, described, and evaluated effective tools and techniques for practitioners and decision makers to expedite the planning and environmental review of transportation projects. SHRP 2 assembled tools and practices to collaborate on highway projects in
Transportation for Communities—Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP), which is currently in its beta test phase. TCAPP provides a “Collaboration Assessment” tool that pinpoints areas where the individual process or team dynamics are not supportive of collaboration and provides some strategies to address those issues. Projects can be delayed or expedited in every phase of delivery, and TCAPP provides information that can be used to understand and implement specific strategies for expediting project delivery. This effort was specifically directed to evaluate the earlier phases of project delivery that lead up to final design and construction. Nearly all of the strategies described are implemented during the planning, National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), and/or permitting phases. For more details, view a summary of this webinar.

Recorded SHRP 2 Webinars: Toward a Common Ecological Framework
Part 1: Watershed Approaches (July 29, 2010)
Part 2: Habitat, Species, and Connectivity (July 30, 2010)
Posted August 2, 2010
SHRP 2 conducted two back-to-back webinars on July 29 and July 30, 2010,
that featured SHRP 2 work in progress on broad-scale ecological
approaches to conservation design and mitigation of highway impacts and
resultant conservation; related presentations by the US Army Corps of
Engineers on watershed planning and 404 permitting; and presentations by
US Fish and Wildlife Service and state natural resource agencies on
integrating planning for species recovery and strategic habitat
conservation in the Section 7 consultation process. This work embodies
watershed, landscape, and habitat approaches to conservation and
emphasizes planning-level environmental analysis and decision making to
better focus and leverage investments for wetlands, species, habitats,
and water quality improvement. Questions related to RFP C21 (released
July 27) for pilot testing SHRP 2 ecological work were also addressed.
Recordings of the webinars and PDFs of the slides are available for
Part 1: Watershed Approaches (July 29, 2010) at and Part 2: Habitat, Species, and Connectivity (July 30, 2010).
Recorded SHRP 2 Webinar: Web Tool to Assess Economic Impacts of Transportation Projects—T-PICS
Posted May 26, 2010
SHRP 2 conducted a web briefing or “webinar” on May 25, 2010, that explored and demonstrated the
Transportation Project Impact Case Studies (T-PICS) web tool.
T-PICS is designed to help organizations such as state departments of
transportation, metropolitan planning organizations, and economic
development agencies quickly assess the long-term economic impacts of
highway capacity projects. A recording of the webinar is available in Windows Media Player format, and slides are available as a PDF.
Recorded SHRP 2 Webinar: Pilot Tests of the Ecological Approach to Mitigation of Environmental Impacts (Project C21)
Posted April 16, 2010
SHRP 2 conducted a web briefing or “webinar” on Thursday, April 15, 2010
that explored new tools designed to help implement integrated
conservation plans and mitigation activities. A project to pilot test
these new tools will be let by SHRP 2 in July, and the webinar also
examined ways in which these new tools might be pilot tested, as a means
to help researchers decide if they want to propose to conduct the pilot
testing. A
recording of the Webinar is available in Windows Media Player format, and the slides are available as a PDF.
Recorded SHRP 2 Webinar: Transportation for Communities—Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP)
Posted February 12, 2010
SHRP 2 Capacity project C01: A Framework for Collaborative Decision Making on Additions to Highway Capacity has released the
beta version of a web-based resource
to help transportation and resource agencies work in collaboration to
develop and deliver “right-sized” highway projects quicker. A
demonstration of the TCAPP website was included in a Webinar on February
11, 2010. A recording of the Webinar is available in Windows Media Player format, and the slides are available as a PDF. The Webinar also served as a pre-bid conference on opportunities to pilot test TCAPP
and help potential proposers decide if they want to propose to conduct
pilot tests that will be announced in March. Organizations interested in
participating in pilot tests are encouraged to form teams by finding
other interested parties in the SHRP 2 Research Team Builder. Responses to questions that were unanswered during the C18 prebid webinar can be found on this webpage.
