摘要：	Transportation agencies across the Country are facing unprecedented challenges in the management of traffic, says FHWA's Office of Operations in 'Travel Demand Management: 21st Century Operations using 21st Century Technologies': In the 21st century, strategies to manage demand will be more critical to transportation operations than strategies to increase capacity (supply) of facilities. The inability toeasily and quickly add new infrastructure, coupled with the growth in passenger and freight travel, have led to the need for transportation system managers and operators to pay more attention to managing demands.The need to manage ever-rising traffic volumes is one of the factors driving the I-74 Iowa-Illinois Corridor Study, a major reconstruction project now in the planning phase. Because the corridor runs through twoStates and three cities, collaboration and coordination will be important to the success of the project. Knowing this, the Illinois and Iowa DOTs contacted FHWA about hosting an AcTT workshop for the I-74 corridor study. In discussions held at a pre-planning meeting with FHWA and AASHTO representatives, the project team identified seven skill setsapplicable to this project: Construction; Innovative Contracting/Financing; Traffic Engineering/Safety/ITS; Public Involvement; Geotechnical/ Pavements/Maintenance; Structures; and Right-of-Way/Utilities/Railroad Coordination. Each skill set team's goalwas to focus on how the AcTT process applied to their area of expertise,while the group as a whole searched for methods and measures to help Iowa and Illinois achieve the project goals. As the workshop progressed,each team summarized their thoughts and narrowed them down to a list of priority recommendations for presentation to the group on the final day.Now that the workshop is complete, the Iowa and Illinois DOTs will review the skill set recommendations and incorporate them into the development of the I-74 Iowa-Illinois Corridor Study.
