The primary activities of this pooled fund project are technology exchange, information sharing, and the facilitation of partnering relationships among state agencies, Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and other appropriate associations. Specifically this pooled fund will: (1) Provide communication and information sharing among member states. Discuss research, development and technology transfer needs in the areas of design, construction, maintenance, and safety on low volume roads and provide research ideas to Transportation Research Board (TRB) in connection with the 2015 11th Low Volume Roads (LVR) Conference. (2) 11th International Low Volume Roads Conference: Provide a technology and knowledge exchange forum to enhance the practical knowledge of conference participants concerning low volume road management with a focus on encouraging State Department of Transportation (DOT) participation in the conference. (3) State DOT Meeting on Low Volume Road Issues: Provide a technology and knowledge exchange forum focused on State DOT Low Volume Road Issues during a workshop at the conference. Topics may include agency collaboration, funding, asset management, shared Right of Way (ROW)/utilities, safety programs, emergency response, training and certifications, maintenance of traffic, federal oversight, standards and specifications, contracting methods, environmental issues, energy development, maintenance, material sources and quality, and bonding.
