State departments of transportation are responsible for managing stormwater runoff to comply with pollutant load regulations. TRB Special Report 360: Managing Highway Stormwater Quality: Driving Progress focuses on engineering and infrastructure strategies and recommends action that can help.
Updated modeling options that account for different land uses and are validated with representative empirical monitoring data can better enable state DOT decision makers. Acknowledging the difference in total maximum daily load (TMDL) pollutants that originate from highways through traffic (such as tire and brake wear contaminants) and pollutants that do not originate from highways but are conveyed to water bodies (such as nutrients and bacteria from adjacent land uses) may improve source control. Participation in watershed-scale TMDL alternative approaches for managing highway stormwater may also result in practical and desirable outcomes.
The report also identifies areas for collaboration between state DOTs, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, and Federal Highway Administration officials along with state environmental authorities. These partnerships could result in improved design, construction, and maintenance procedures and guidance. Furthermore, engagement between the agencies early in the process, and longer opportunities for public participation can account for concerns specific to different parts of a watershed to more holistically manage TMDL pollutants. Read the report to learn more.

Join Greg Pecoraro of National Association of State Aviation Officials, Luigi Campanale of The Jones Payne Group (pictured left), Mia Held of C&S Engineers, Inc. & Linn Smith, State of Michigan (pictured right), Jiahao Yu and Mary E. Johnson of Purdue University to discuss how the aviation industry’s understanding of AAM infrastructure needs has been evolving, the current state of vertiport design standards, and challenges that we still need to confront as an industry, to rise to the moment that AAM operations begin in earnest. Register for our TRB Symposium on Aviation Innovation and Research in Dayton, OH next month!
