Traffic Control Device (TCD) Consortium (4)
The Traffic Control Device (TCD) Consortium was originally established in 2003. It was previously Pooled Fund Project TPF-5(065) and TPF-5(316). Members include state departments of transportation (DOTs), national organizations, city, county, and Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) Program Offices. All new funding commitments will need to be made on the Pooled Fund website to this new project and all new funds will be transferred to the Lead State/Agency by the partners. The lead state or agency will have the responsibility for receiving, obligating, expending, and balancing the funding for this project. OBJECTIVES: To assemble a consortium composed of State DOTs; additional interested entities or organizations; County, regional, and/or local transportation agencies; and FHWA program offices to meet national and state needs in support of the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD). Activities of the consortium include: a) Identify human factors, safety, and operational issues related to TCDs; b) Select new and existing TCDs for evaluation; c) Initiate and monitor research projects; d) Disseminate results; and e) Facilitate collaboration and information sharing among members.
