TRB conducted a webinar on June 12, 2012, from 2:00 p.m.-3:30 p.m. ET that explored National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP)
Report 708: A Guidebook for Sustainability Performance Measurement for Transportation Agencies. Please contact Reggie Gillum at
RGillum@nas.edu for a link to the recorded webinar.
The NCHRP guidebook provides a generally-applicable framework and approach to understanding sustainability, and identifying and applying sustainability-related performance measures for transportation agencies. The guidebook discusses the integration of sustainability measures into a transportation agency's core functions and also contains a compendium of sustainability performance measures and various other resources useful to transportation practitioners.
The webinar will be most useful to those who are challenged with providing useful information to agency leadership on how effectively their organization is meeting or can meet sustainability goals.
The webinar will provide participants with an understanding of the concepts of sustainability and the framework provided in the guidebook, including an overview of the resources available as part of NCHRP Report 708. The webinar will include a discussion of the application of sustainability performance measures, ways to use the guidebook from a practitioner perspective, and experiences of a public sector and private sector practitioner in applying the contents of the guidebook.
