FHWA Highlights Innovations from No Boundaries Members

July 18, 2023

The July/August 2023 issue of Innovator, the bimonthly newsletter of the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), recognized the efforts of a number of No Boundaries member states.

Open-ended performance plans, an innovative strategy used by the Texas Department of Transportation (DOT), allow greater flexibility when working with subcontractors.

Two innovative work zone initiatives developed by Missouri DOT – the iTrain virtual reality training simulator and a semi-autonomous truck-mounted attenuator pilot program – recently won awards from FHWA’s Accelerating Market Readiness program. The agency was also recognized for its increased use of Federal Share flexibilities to save money on a variety of projects.

Indiana DOT leverages crowdsourced data to estimate travel times and program traffic signals, while Utah DOT has expanded its use of accelerated bridge construction methods across the state.

Ohio DOT’s practice of upcycling bridge beams also earned a shout-out in the issue – the agency removes steel beams that are no longer needed and provides them to counties to help them save costs and reduce waste.
