Estimated Time Line for New MUTCD Not Included in FHWA’s Priority Rulemakings for 2015:
Proposed content and preamble material drafted and continuing to be refined
Draft Notice of Proposed Amendment (NPA) unlikely to be advanced to the Office of Management & Budget (OMB) for review during 2015
Initial economic analysis of proposed changes will likely require expansion
May 2016 – Current “Best Guess” date for publishing NPA in Federal Register
November 2016 – End of the 6-month docket comment period October 2017 – Finalize the MUTCD and the Federal Register
notice November 2017 – April 2018: Internal and OMB Reviews May/June 2018 – Publish the Final Rule for a new edition
of the MUTCD
MUTCD
Proceeding with Request for Comments (RFC) on Vision & Strategic Plan (VSP) for MUTCD
Seeking public comments on future direction for MUTCD rather than on VSP document
Soliciting input on things over which FHWA has control, such as: - Target audience/intended user - Tort liability - Levels of mandate in the MUTCD - Process for introducing new devices/standards into the MUTCD - Relationship between MUTCD and State MUTCDs/Supplements - Organization and structure of MUTCD content - Time horizons or steps for implementing potential changes Not seeking input on the rulemaking process, changing the Code of
Federal Regulations, or NCUTCD related items Targeting publication of RFC by September 2015.

Traffic Incident Management (TIM)
Road Weather Management Program Aligns With ITS Strategic Plan
• Program Goal – To reduce the safety and
mobility impacts of adverse weather on the transportation system
• Success defined – Weather and traffic models are integrated for effective operations
• “Road Weather Information” Versus “Weather Information”
– Weather challenges with respect to Automation are addressed – Private sector is growing and deploying Connected Vehicle Road
Weather solutions
Road Weather
Road Weather Management Key program activities: Advancing the use of ITS (especially connected vehicles) to
address the safety and mobility impacts of weather Developing multiple applications for improved winter maintenance,
traffic management, and traveler information Collecting weather and road conditions data from 650 vehicles
(State DOT fleets; available via the Weather Data Environment: http://www.its-wxde.net)
Developing guidance to promote coordination between the National Weather Service and State DOTs to improve the content and consistency of road weather information
Promoting the implementation of the SHRP2 Capability Maturity Model for Road Weather Management
Road Weather
Oregon DOT • Developed and implemented Weather-Responsive Active Traffic Mgmt System • Implemented Weather-related Variable Speed Limits and Dynamic Message
Signs (DMS) Michigan DOT • Developed and implemented Weather-Responsive Traveler Information
System using Fixed and Mobile Road Weather Observations • Road weather information provided on MiDrive Website and DMS South Dakota DOT • Used mobile observations from maintenance vehicles to improve traffic and
maintenance operations during weather events • Road weather forecasts on website, 511 and mobile applications Wyoming DOT • Used observations from WyDOT plow vehicles to improve condition reporting
and traveler information systems • Road weather information provided on website and DMS
Weather-Responsive Traffic Management Applications
Road Weather
Work Zone (WZ) Management Key program activities: Improving the consideration of Work Zones throughout
the transportation life cycle Ensure State DOTs conduct WZ Process Reviews Support development of effective Transportation Management
Plans (TMPs)
Promoting the implementation of the SHRP2 Capability Maturity Framework for WZ Management
Addressing the challenges of WZ and Large Trucks Conducted a national symposium in April, currently building on
those results
Executing the Work Zone Safety Grants and the National WZ Safety Information Clearinghouse
Work Zones
Work Zone (WZ) Management Smarter Work Zones: Part of the FHWA Every Day Counts initiative Promoting the deployment of two WZ solutions:
Project Coordination Technology Application
Goals – by December, 2016: 20 State DOTs have incorporated work zone project coordination
strategies into agency documentation and business processes 5 State DOTs have volunteered to pilot the WISE (Work Zone
Impact & Strategy Estimator) software application. 35 State DOTs have either implemented business processes for
planning, design, procurement, operation, and evaluation of Work Zone ITS technologies, and/or deployed at least one technology application such as speed or queue management

Transportation Performance Management
The MAP-21 Charge (23 USC 150(a) - Declaration of Policy)
Performance Management Will:
• transform the Federal-aid highway program • provide a means to the most efficient investment of funds
By: • refocusing on national transportation goals, • increasing accountability & transparency, and • improving project decision making

Connected Vehicles Connected vehicle efforts within USDOT,
transportation agencies, and vehicle manufacturers continue to grow toward implementing a connected vehicle environment with secure, reliable communications as its core.
Three main things to highlight: Vehicle-to-Infrastructure (V2I) Deployment Guidance
V2I Deployment Coalition Connected Vehicle Pilot Deployments 5.9 GHz Spectrum Sharing
Connected Vehicles
V2I Deployment Guidance FHWA is on target to issue V2I Deployment Guidance this
summer. Will be updated over time as more is learned
Guidance is intended to provide information & tools to assist public agencies with initial deployment related to connected vehicles. Associated tools & products to be released in winter 2015; will
address transportation planning, systems engineering, radio licensing Will include a V2I reference implementation for deploying connected
vehicle infrastructure that is integrated and works seamlessly with roadside equipment for transportation management systems
USDOT is establishing connected vehicle certification services to be available for V2I equipment in early 2016.
Connected Vehicles
V2I Deployment Coalition V2I Deployment Coalition has been
formed Led by AASHTO, along with ITS America and
the Institute of Transportation Engineers The V2I Deployment Coalition will: Help convene & provide stakeholder input to
the V2I Deployment Guidance, and Help inform the transportation community of
the Guidance and its related training and tools.
Connected Vehicles
CV Pilot Deployments Connected vehicle pilot deployments will serve as initial
implementations of CV technology installed & operating in real world settings to deliver near-term safety, mobility & environmental benefits.
The CV pilot deployments seek to develop operational systems that will remain in operation beyond the conclusion of the pilots program.
Solicitation for CV pilots closed in March and proposals are under review Expect to award selected projects in September Plan to solicit for a second wave of pilot deployments in about
two years. USDOT will provide support to CV pilot deployments for secure
communications, equipment certification processes, technical evaluation, coordination with other CV activities, etc.
Connected Vehicles (CV)
5.9 GHz Spectrum Sharing FCC is assessing the ability to share 5.9 GHz
spectrum (Dedicated Short Range Communication, or DSRC) with unlicensed devices. Due to a very small footprint of active DSRC device
deployment and a growing consumer demand for spectrum for other uses, e.g., WiFi.
USDOT is supportive of sharing, as long as there is no interference with the connected vehicle safety-critical messages.
Highlights a critical aspect of the CV pilot deployments, i.e., the early deployment of connected vehicle strategies using DSRC.
