NASTO AAR Key Agency Take-Aways Permit Office-Related –Standardize Legal Language –Examine Emergency Permit Types –“Harmonize” processes across states and with Federal agencies Emergency Operations-Related –Consider key industries with permit requirements and route limitations Cranes, Power Generation, Emergency Housing, Fuel, Water/Food, Debris –Include permit office in planning and day-of-event execution –Provide enhanced information to the heavy-haul industry 12

13. NASTO Special Hauling List-Serve Established (and continue to maintain) a NASTO Special Hauling List-Serve to enable prompt state- to-state communications between permit offices in the NASTO states –Delaware DOT (Dennis Blades) serves as “Administrator” –SASHTO List-Serve may be established if there is identified need Continuing to coordinate with states and AASHTO as necessary on other harmonization and communication efforts 13

14. Significant Weather-Related Events Response Highway-Bridge Closure Policies Survey Program emerged from recent significant weather-related events such as Hurricane Sandy I-95CC Executive Board in mid-2013 requested a Significant Weather-Related Events Response Project –Determine issues to be addressed –Identify the Coalition’s prospective coordinative role as an information facilitator during emergency response Establish a Significant Events Project Team - Completed Conduct initial Bridge-Highway Closure Policies Survey with all 16 Members States – June – September, 2013 - Completed Issued Final Survey Report with Recommendations – Sept. 2013 14

15. Bridge-Highway Closure Policies Survey Recommendations Formalize a common set of guidelines for state highway/bridge closures to encourage systematic, regional coordination. Establish a common guideline for closure triggers such as sustained wind speed trigger point range for highway/span bridge/causeway closure to all traffic Subset triggers pertaining to heavy vehicles/trailers and motorcycles Identify the authority in each state and the process they must follow in order to coordinate cross border closures. Streamline the process to avoid unnecessary delays in coordination. Encourage broader use of social media and website postings, and establish a protocol guideline for the timing of notice postings for bridge/highway closures. Identify key outlets and methods for communications. Encourage states to add state motor truck associations and other identified key outlets to closure notification lists. To encourage regional communication, establish a protocol guideline for content, timing of notifications, communications method (tele/email…), and recipient of notifications to neighboring DOTs and local jurisdictions and operating authorities pertaining to highway/bridge closures.
