TRB’s SHRP 2 Tuesdays Webinar: SHRP 2 Community Visioning and Performance Measurement Products (C08 and C02)

As part of the SHRP2 Tuesdays Webinar Series, TRB conducted a webinar on April 1, 2014, from 2:00pm to 3:30pm ET that summarized SHRP 2 Projects C08: Linking Community Visioning and Highway Capacity Planning and C02: Performance Measurement Framework for Highway Capacity Decision Making.

View the recorded webinar.

Project C08 produced an interactive Vision Guide to assist practitioners in better integrating transportation decisions with social, economic, and environmental considerations. Project C02 developed a Capacity Performance Measures web resource that allows users to both browse individual planning factors and generate a report with a set of measures that are relevant to a given project. Both tools have been incorporated into a beta web portal known as Transportation for Communities - Advancing Projects through Partnerships (TCAPP), currently available at https://www.transportationforcommunities.com/. TCAPP will be re-launched at a future date as “PlanWorks” by the Federal Highway Administration.
