Non-emergency medical transport (NEMT) services in Pennsylvania are analyzed in Medical Assistance Transportation Program (MATP) Legislative Analysis , a report from the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation along with the Pennsylvania Departments of Human Services and of Aging. This report reviews the administration of NEMT programs by other states to determine the most appropriate model for Pennsylvania.

The effect of emulsion reduction during the cold in-place recycling (CIR) process is evaluated in Evaluating Effective Asphalt Content in CIR Mixtures , a report from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. The goal of this report is to identify long-term performance properties of CIR material during hot conditions.

Grass species that perform well on roadsides are identified in Identification of Low Growing, Salt Tolerant Turfgrass Species Suitable for Use Along Highway Right of Way – Field Trials , a report from the Maryland Department of Transportation. The goal of this report is to determine which low growing roadside grasses require less maintenance but establish rapidly, are resilient in the harsh roadside environment, and are available and affordable through commercial growers.

The performance of ultra-thin pavement in winter maintenance operations is determined in Ultra-Thin Bonded Wearing Course (UTBWC) Winter Maintenanc e, a report from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. This report identifies the advantages and disadvantages of ultra-thin pavement during winter conditions.

The feasibility of operating an Iowan urban service bureau is examined in Feasibility of an Iowa Urban Service Bureau , a report from the Iowa Department of Transportation. This report took input from transportation stakeholders, including the Iowa Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP), county engineers, and engineering consultants.

The use of biofuels to stabilize pavement subgrade soil is investigated in Biofuel Co-Product Use for Pavement Geo-Materials Stabilization Phase II: Extensive Lab Characterization and Field Demonstration , a report from the Iowa Department of Transportation. This report identifies unconfined compressive strength, shear strength, freeze-thaw durability, and moisture sustainability of biofuel-treated soils.

A monitoring system is analyzed in Continuously Operating Reference Stations for the Bayou Corne Sinkhole , a report from the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The goal of this report is to ensure the system that was designed to mitigate sinkhole-related hazards is effective.

The effect of emulsion reduction during the cold in-place recycling (CIR) process is examined in Evaluating Effective Asphalt Content in CIR Mixtures , a report from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. CIR has become a desired pavement rehabilitation alternative due to costs as well as environmental and performance advantages.

The cost-benefits of using high-quality clean aggregates for construction and maintenance of granular roadways is investigated in Performance-Based Evaluation of Cost-Effective Aggregate Options for Granular Roadways , a report from the Iowa Department of Transportation. This report focuses on granular road surfaces in areas with low-quality aggregates.

The life-cycle cost of motor graders and trucks is estimated in Optimizing Maintenance Equipment Life-Cycle for Local Agencies , a report from the Iowa Department of Transportation. Accurately estimating the optimal replacement time and predicting future costs of road equipment contribute to the effective use of equipment, while avoiding expensive maintenance activities.
