Colorado-Wyoming Section Members:

The Vendor’s Show was a great success with over 220 peo-ple and 23 vendors exhibiting. This was probably the largest gathering in the history of the Colo-rado/Wyoming Sec-

tion. The University of Wyoming stu-dent chapter earned around $750 in the silent auction that will be used to help send UW students to the District 6 and International meeting in Anaheim this summer. Thank you to all who attended and all of the vendors and attendees who contributed to the silent auction. The vendors are a big part of the suc-cess of the Colorado/Wyoming Section.

Our next meeting will be held on Febru-ary 29th in Colorado Springs with CDOT’s Region 2 North Program Manager Dave Poling discussing the COSMIX Project. This was another highly successful urban freeway expansion project for CDOT, so the program promises to be interesting. Prior to the meeting, Skyline Products, a dynamic message sign manufacturer, will be hosting a tour of their facilities in Colorado Springs. They will be demon-strating their NTCIP-compatible software and system integration as well as the large walk-in LED DMS and smaller arte-rial LED DMS. I am looking forward to this tour. Thank you Skyline Products for providing this opportunity to see these signs up close.

In November, I wrote about my goal to use alternate modes to commute to work at least one day per week. Since then I have used RTD numerous times

to get to work and have really enjoyed relaxing while the bus driver deals with the traffic. RTD’s system of park-n-Rides helps to make the commute a breeze. What a relief. As a result of my column, I have heard from many other people who use alternate modes on a regular basis. Using alternate modes not only benefits you by making your commute easier, but it benefits society as a whole by reducing VMT and in-turn pollution. I was also pleased to see the theme of the transportation symposium, “Sustainable Transportation – Individual Choices, Global Results”. The presentations should be interesting and likely outside of the box. I can’t wait for spring so that I can commute to work on my bike!

February 2008 CONVEYANCES

Vendor Show Highlights by Curtis Rowe, Section Scribe

The annual Colorado/Wyoming Section of ITE vendor show was held on Friday, Janu-ary 25, 2008, at the Arvada Center. This year’s event included 23 company vendor exhibits pertaining to various components of the transportation industry. Section President, Joe Henderson, presided over the meeting that was attended by a record 215 members and guests.

The meeting portion of the event began with half of the vendor introductions, fol-lowing by several announcements. Joe Henderson asked Section members to con-sider supporting one of their own, Gene Wilson, for ITE International Vice Presi-dent. Mr. Henderson also announced the Section is now accepting nominations for the Transportation Professional of the Year.

Scot Lewis, Section Student Coordinator, recognized Brian Kelley, a part-time intern at LSC Transportation Consultants, as the recipient of the Student Scholarship Award.

The winner of the December newsletter contest last month was Jessie Slaton of Jacobs Carter-Burgess and the January contest winner was Doug Eberhart of Wil-son & Company. Both winners elected to donate their award to the ITE Scholarship fund. Thanks to both of you!

After presentation of the announcements, the remaining half of the vendor represen-tatives provided a brief introduction about their company and the services they pro-vide.

The next meeting is set for Colorado Springs on Friday, February 29, 2008.

Reservations will be taken through the website the week prior to that meeting. The Colorado/Wyoming Section contact is Joe Henderson of Short Elliott and Hen-drickson, Inc., 303-441-5401; [email protected]. Also, please visit our Section’s website at www.cowyite.org.

Scot Lewis presents Brian Kelly with a $500 scholarship


At the January 25th ITE Vendor Show in Arvada, the University of Wyoming ITE Student Chapter coordinated a successful silent auction fundraiser.

A total of $750 was raised in auctioning items donated by the vendors.

Some items auctioned off included Ava-lanche tickets, Rodeo tickets, a Down Jacket, and Thumb Drives. All proceeds benefit the Colorado/Wyoming ITE Sec-tion's Education Fund. The bidding was competitive but friendly and a special thanks to Toni Winkler (WL Contractors) for the great work in providing extra en-couragement to attendees to participate in the auction.

A big thanks to all the vendors who do-nated items or cash to the event:

• AM Signal Inc • Traffic Signal Controls • W.L. Contractors Inc • RuggedCom • Advanced Traffic Products • Econolite Control Products • Maxcell Interduct • Viking Utility Sales

Student Chapter Update by Rhonda Young, Assistant Professor, University of Wyoming

Congratulations to veteran maniac Doug Eberhart. He submitted the correct an-swer, “amber signal”, to the word division problem. Doug elected to donate his $25 prize to the Section scholarship fund.

For this issue’s contest, there is a word jumble to solve. To the right are four jum-bled words/phrases (one per quadrant) that have a common letter represented by the question mark in the middle of the puz-zle.

To win this contest, unscramble the four words/phrases and e-mail them to [email protected] before February 27th. The winner will be awarded a $25 gift card to the establishment of their choice and will be required to attend the next luncheon meeting to receive their prize.

Activities Committee by Ben Waldman, Section Secretary/Treasurer

Another winter means another great ski outing to Winter Park for the ITE Colorado/Wyoming Section. Eric Boivin, Activities Chair, arranged another ride in the luxury of a club car of the historic Rio Grande Ski Train. On January 26, 2008, there were 59 attendees including our ITE Western District (District 6) President, Vice Presi-dent and Secretary-Treasurer (Jennifer Rosales, Monica Suter and Michael Sander-son, respectively) and several District 6 Committee Chairs.

The weather was perfect with sunshine all day and, after a snowy December and January, the snow was ideal for skiing and snowboarding. The group enjoyed a full day of activities including skiing, snow-boarding, snowmobiling, shopping and for some just relaxing at the lodge. After an exhausting day on the slopes, instead of fighting the traffic, the group was able to enjoy soup, sandwiches and, of course, beer and wine on the way back to Denver.

The Section would like to extend a special thanks to our ski trip sponsors, whose gen-erous contributions helped to make the train ticket more affordable:

• All Traffic Data • Fox Higgins Transportation Group • W.L. Contractors Inc. • David Evans & Associates • Felsburg Holt & Ullevig • Southwest Traffic Engineering • Kimley-Horn and Associates • Lantz Associates • Fehr & Peers • LSC Transportation Consultants, Inc. P lease e-ma i l E r i c Bo iv in at [email protected] if you have any ideas for future Section activities.

Loading an unloading from the train takes

some work ...

The District 6 Executive can attest to that.

… but it’s worth it.

CDOT Traveler Information, an Interview with Ken DePinto and Rod Mead of the CTMC

Tucked away in a Golden, Colorado office park is an inconspicuous building. Passersby would never guess that this building is home to the traveler information epicenter for the State of Colorado. How-ever, within that building lies the CDOT Colorado Transportation Management Cen-ter (CTMC) where a staff of nine Traveler Information Specialists dedicate them-selves to keeping the traveling public in-formed every hour of every day of the year.

This article is an interview with Ken De-Pinto who manages the CTMC and Rod Mead who oversees the operations center, the heart of the CTMC.

What type of information does the CTMC provide Colorado’s traveling public?

Our main focus is providing traveler’s infor-mation about road closures, incidents, commercial vehicle restrictions, and gen-eral information about driving conditions.

How do you get this information out to the public?

We use several different means to deliver information to the traveling public. The most popular way is through our website (www.cotrip.org). Last year alone we re-ceived 489 million hits on the website. We

also use the 511* phone service where callers can get updated road, weather, and construction information for Colorado. 1.7 million phone calls were placed to Colo-rado’s 511 traveler information system last year. The CTMC also sends out broadcast email and fax messages to over 300 or-ganizations including police, truck stops,

media, and commercial vehicle carriers.

CDOT also posts traveler information to over 220 dynamic message signs, 17 high-way advisory radios, and shares images from over 300 highway cameras with the local media, other public agencies, and website visitors. An interesting fact is that over 80% of visitors to our website are

(Continued on page 8)

* In 2000, the FCC designated 511 as the national traveler information number. Programs across the U.S. are expected to be accessible to 65% of the population in 2008.

looking at camera images.

I’ve noticed you use the variable mes-sage signs to issue Amber Alerts. How has this program been working?

Colorado has had tremendous success with the Amber Alert program. The Colorado Bureau of Investigation advises us of a child abduction. The information is then posted to our variable message signs as well as the website, cell phones, fax, email, highway advisory radios. Since the pro-gram started in 2002, 46 Amber Alerts have been issued and 51 children have been recovered.

What do you wish you could improve?

We would like to have more information to make available to the public, especially in rural areas. The remote areas, such as our mountain passes, often see the worst travel conditions. Unfortunately, their loca-tion makes it difficult to establish commu-nications to retrieve data.

What do you think the future holds for traveler information?

We’ll see more use of pre-trip information to help make informed decisions before deciding what route and transportation mode to use, or help decide whether or not to make the trip at all. Also, we think in-vehicle information will become more prevalent and begin to replace some of the roadside infrastructure. We are already starting to see this trend as navigation sys-tems and real-time traffic maps are being offered as optional features in cars.

(Continued from page 7)

This is clipped from an actual fault page on the web. If you ever won-dered how things worked on the web, now you know — they work automagically. Perhaps we should get on that train ...

Colorado-Wyoming Section Member

We’ll solve that transportation problem automagically.


Freeways

Well I survived another test of the California freeways. Its always a challenge to get accus-tomed to the 80+ mph speeds and then to re-turn and realize that I am driving like a Cali-fornian on our much smaller freeways (along

with the mid-day situations where traffic comes to a stop with no apparent reason).

The “big” roadway issue in southern Cali-fornia is whether the Coastal Commission is going to allow the construction of the 241 toll road’s interchange with I-5 at the Orange County/San Diego County line. Currently, the 241 provides a direct north-south route to the Inland Empire and stops at Oso Parkway in Mission Viejo. The plan is to extend 241 to parallel I-5 for the re-maining 12 miles prior to connecting with I-5. While there is heavy support (including the Governor) for this privately financed roadway and no identified source of funding for widening I-5, there is also a very strong advocacy group hoping to limit growth. This group apparently has a strong influence on the Coastal Commis-sion’s right of approval for the interchange site.

The current traffic counts at the inter-change area give some perspective to the size of the problem. The weekday ADT at the county line (the north end of Camp Pendleton where there is no development) is 150,000 but the weekend ADT is 170,000 with significant growth projected. I guess I have just told you much more than you needed to know!

Arterials & Neighborhoods

In this vein, the article by Jennifer Rosales on Road Diets in the November ITE journal is a subject dear to my heart. As many of you know (well at some of us older ones), in the 1960’s and 70’s there were a lot of 4 lane urban arterials built (with no left turn lanes). Many of these also included on-street parking, with the result being a lot of rear-end impacts, continuous conges-tion, no opportunity for bike accommoda-

tion, and correspondingly low thru-volume capacity. I have had a number of “opportunities” to discuss with various downtown merchants the improved safety and comparable capacity of converting these roadways to 3-lane configurations—with marginal success.

The CO/WY Section of ITE’s 2006 report on “children playing” signs is quoted in a Sept 07 WISDOT research summary of this issue. The research summary provides a lot of discussion about their value being primarily to make parents “feel better” with no corresponding documented safety value.

Crashes

My current work with vehicle crashes seems to have too many examples of the consequences of occupants failing to be restrained by seatbelts. The most egre-gious of these involves small children sit-ting in but not belted into child safety seats such that they become projectiles in head-

(Continued on page 10)


on impacts. Others involve unbelted driver fatalities that would have been marginal injuries if belted. One very significant data set on airbag-caused deaths that has re-cently been published shows a 10 times reduction in the number of children fatali-ties over a recent 7 year period that is con-current with education about belting and front seat occupancy along with the signifi-cant depowering of airbags in more recent models of cars.

Speeds

In my September 2007 column, I discussed my observations on the discrepancies be-tween speed limits and the 85% speeds. A similar discussion is also documented as part of Horizontal Curve Signing Handbook (TTI, October 2007). Their graph of rural Texas highways shows an average 85th percentile speed of 12 mph (+/- 7 mph) over a 55 mph posted speed limit that drops to 1 mph (+/- 2 mph) over a 70 mph posted speed limit. The authors recognize that the discrepancy between the posted and 85th percentile speed is a challenge since many of the signing guidelines as-sume that they are equal.

Contest

Finally, another photo puz-zle from my stash — tell me the location and date of this event to earn your lunch.
