Crowdsourcing for Operations
• FHWA Every Day Counts (EDC)-5 Initiative• Goal: Increase the number of agencies that use
crowdsourcing to better operate the transportation system through new, cost-effective, and proactive operational strategies and applications
• EDC-5 period: Jan 2019-Dec 2020

EDC-5 Crowdsourcing Activities
Past Twelve Months• National implementation team• Implementation plan• Four national webinars• Five regional summits• Web page, fact sheet, FAQs,
synthesis, and video• Kick-off calls with 30+ States• Five peer conversation webinars
with states• Two conference sessions, One
State workshop
Next Six Months• Resources including case studies• Technical assistance - webinar
series, workshops, executive sessions, regional peer exchanges, on-site/virtual customized assistance
• Exploring further partnerships with ITE, I-95 Corridor Coalition, etc.
• Working with Road Weather, Virtual Public Involvement, and Rural Roadway Departure EDC-5 teams on joint activities
Contact: James Colyar, [email protected] 7
Active Management Cycle Guide
• Improve system operations by moving from a fixed strategy to one that is dynamic and adapts to conditions
• Combines two concepts about TSMO strategies: Implemented in a standard,
repeating cycle of activities Implemented at varying
levels of active management
8Source: FHWA
Active Management Cycle Guide (2)
• Framework for agencies to assess current strategy applications and identify actions to improve the sensitivity of any TSMO strategy to performance
• Can be used by regions or states• Expected to be available in Fall 2019
Contact: James Colyar, [email protected] 9
Surface Transportation Systems Funding Alternatives (STSFA)
• Program provides grants to States to demonstrate user-based alternative revenue mechanisms that utilize a user fee structure to maintain the long-term solvency of the Federal Highway Trust Fund
• FHWA is sponsoring an independent evaluation of the results of the grant projects– First report evaluates activities of six initial pilots– Expected Fall 2019 – Scope – Focuses on activities that were executed with STSFA funds
