9:30-5:00 Morning session is a continuation of the CCTS program (Part 2)
10:30am-12:00
1. Managing Climate Change, Sustainability, and Adaptation: An Integrated Approach. This
presentation will consider how environmental management systems (EMSs), risk-based assessment, and
other IT tools such as GIS and Asset Management Systems can be leveraged to manage the broader
concerns of climate change, sustainability, and adaption in the transportation industry. Specific examples
draw from recent FTA-funded pilot studies on adaption and other transit experience to illustrate the use of
these tools. The speaker will explain how climate change risk assessment can be used to develop
community and organizational risk mitigation strategies.
2. Technical Tools to Improve Transportation Planning. This session showcases innovative technical
planning tools that have been deployed, or are being developed, in northern New Jersey. Some applications
include: PR!ME (Planning Recommendation and Integration Management Engine), ViZtools Enhanced,
Green House Gas Tools, ITS Architecture, and Freight Analytical and Forecasting Tools, among others.
These and other technical tools, also featured at an annual NJTPA expo, can be used to make
transportation planning more effective and efficient. This session includes hands-on demonstrations of
several such tools.
3. Great Egg Harbor Bridge Replacement Project. This project includes preparation of the final contract
documents including plans, specifications, cost estimates, construction schedule and reports for two new
bridges crossing Great Egg Harbor Bay and Drag Channel. The structures consists of pre-stressed concrete
bulb tee beams, AASHTO I-Beams and a spliced pre-stressed post tensioned concrete girder system
supported by concrete piers on piles. Project is currently under construction.
4. Greenways - More than Trails, Essential Community Connections. Part 1. Greenways are
frequently thought of as trails through the woods used almost exclusively by hikers. This stereotype doesn’t
fit the reality of the transportation, economic development, and community public space benefits that
greenways can bring. These sessions will highlight and discuss the history and creation of local greenways
such as the Morris Canal and Middlesex Greenway before moving on to regional greenways such as the
East Coast Greenway and the Circuit. Panelists will discuss benefits, lessons learned, and challenges to
development.
5. Education, Engineering, and Enforcement: The Three “E’s” of Safety. This session is a “how-to” for
addressing safety concerns on roadways through engineering, education and enforcement. Speakers will
discuss regional and local safety initiatives, federal and state funding opportunities, and how to effectively
reduce roadway crashes through partnerships with the NJTPA, NJ DOT, NJ Div. of Highway Traffic Safety,
and the Federal Highway Administration.

6. Federal Transportation Funding: The Current Forecast. Sustainable, dedicated, and long-term
federal transportation funding legislation has remained elusive, with the current short-term extension about
to expire at the end of May. This session takes a look at what we can expect for the rest of 2015 and
beyond.

Connect project, the NJ Turnpike widening project, and the Pulaski Skyway rehabilitation project.

13. Underwater Rail Access to Manhattan: Big Challenges & Solutions. The Northeast Corridor is at or
near capacity at many locations, but nowhere is the demand on the existing rail system greater than in the
100-year-old Hudson River rail tunnel into midtown Manhattan that was inundated with salt water during
Super Storm Sandy – the only intercity passenger rail crossing into New York City from New Jersey. The
solution is the Gateway Program, which will create the new infrastructure essential to preserve existing
service and eventually increase redundancy, add reliability for shared operations, and provide additional
capacity for the future increases in commuter and intercity rail service.
14. Garden State Parkway Shoulder Restoration and Widening Program Improves Safety and Access
to South Jersey. The panel will discuss the design, environmental and construction challenges for the GSP
Shoulder Restoration and Improvement Program, as well as the GSP Widening Program. A focus will be the
improvements to overall safety and traffic flow along the Garden State Parkway, which serves as a gateway
to South Jersey and the shore destinations.
15. The PennDOT Benefits from the Increase in the Pennsylvania Gas Tax. Pennsylvania increased its
gasoline tax in January 2014. While New Jersey’s infrastructure is crumbling, learn how the gasoline tax in
Pennsylvania is benefitting PennDOT programs and the citizens of Pennsylvania.
16. Sustainable and Improved Traffic Signal Projects from Across America.
17. Effective Public Outreach and Engagement in Transportation Planning. Public outreach is a
valuable component of enlightened transportation planning initiatives. This session spotlights effective
outreach and public engagement efforts at the local, regional, and mega-regional levels.
18. Project Labor Agreements. Federal and state requirements, addressing those requirements, and
surviving an audit.
19. ADA and Transportation Refresher Updates with a Focus on Community Transportation (Part 2).
2
3:55 – 5:00
20. The Future for the Northeast Corridor Study.
21. Red Light Cameras: Should They Return? The NJ Red Light Camera program was shut down at the
end of December 2014. Opponents complained about the timings of the lights and perceived it as primarily
a revenue generator for municipalities. Hear the views of the American Automobile Association, a mayor,
and a police officer involved in traffic safety.
22. Transit Oriented Districts: Success Stores, Unexpected Issues, and Looking Ahead.
23. PATCO’s Challenging Ben Franklin Bridge Rehabilitation Project: A Huge Challenge
Successfully Met.
24. Effective Public Outreach and Engagement in Transportation Planning: Film and Photography.
25. Modern Roundabouts. There are many interesting aspects of modern roundabouts. Besides the
dramatic, unprecedented safety benefit, there are strong operational, environmental, and community
benefits with compelling reasons to consider modern roundabouts. Modern roundabouts are not just traffic
circles or rotaries. Extrapolating by population from the number of modern roundabouts in France or
Australia gives a figure of 145,000 modern roundabouts; for the United States we have only 3,000, but the
count is increasing exponentially.

overview of bicycle stress level mapping with case studies demonstrating practical application of the
methodology from an eight municipality project in Central Bergen County. The presentation will cover and

to overhead rate reporting. The presenter is an expert in internal and external audits and has been retained
by NJ DOT to do audits on their behalf for contracts and overhead.

64. A Toolbox for Combating Driver Fatigue. (Part 1 of 3) It’s easy to put off a full eight hours of sleep
when it seems like there are so many other things to do. Work shifts, in addition to personal and family
obligations, often come between employees and a good night’s rest. But what is the difference between
feeling a little tired and experiencing fatigue? Since 30% – 40% of commercial vehicle accident reports cite
driver fatigue as a contributing cause, it is critical that transit workers know about the dangers of fatigue, how
to detect it, and what they can do to prevent and manage it.

71. Getting Value Out of Value Engineering” or “Saving Money—And Your Project—through Value
Engineering. With scarce budgets for capital improvements and infrastructure maintenance, along with the
pervasive “do more with less” mentality, value engineering has become increasingly important in getting
major public works off the ground. A panel of agency leaders from the Port Authority, NJ DOT, NJ Turnpike,
and others share real-world stories of how value engineering got their projects from concept to reality. With
the Transportation Trust Fund crisis and major infrastructure projects being deferred due to budget
limitations, this is a timely discussion in New Jersey.
72. The Importance of Truck Drivers and Chasses to the Port of New York & New Jersey: You Can’t
Move Containers without Them. Getting containers through the port is a challenge; it can’t happen without
drivers and chasses. Learn about the truck driver shortage and the new chassis pool.
