No Boundaries members met in Portland, Maine last week from April 29 – May 1 for the group’s spring peer exchange, hosted by MaineDOT. Members shared their latest innovations and best practices for getting maintenance work done faster, better and cheaper.
The peer exchange also featured roundtable discussions on what states’ maintenance crews use for their sign repair and replacement work and hauling skid steers, as well as hot-button transportation topics such as how changes at the federal level are affecting maintenance activities for states.
Featured presentations included an overview of Maine’s innovation program and the Federal Highway Administration’s Strategic Workforce Development program, and a demonstration of an innovative culvert adaptation designed to increase flow capacity and reduce maintenance.
Finally, No Boundaries’ always-popular Innovation Show-and-Tell provided a forum for members to share the new tools and practices their agencies have found for making maintenance work easier and safer in the field.
Additional information, photos and the full agenda are available on the meeting page.
