Governor’s Message

This report on the state of transportation in Pennsylvania wraps up eight years of challenges, opportunities and progress during my time as Governor. With PennDOT Secretary Al Biehler’s leadership, we havequadrupled investment in bridges and introduced efficiencies in management, project delivery and Smart Transportation approachesthat have saved taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars and allowed us to improve our transportation infrastructure.

I firmly believe that well-managed government pays tremendous benefitsfor its people and my administration’s record is clear in this regard. ButI’ve also made clear -- especially in 2010 -- that additional transportationresources are critically needed and can carry this state far forward at atime when the nation is rebuilding its economy. My funding plans werereasonable and called for equitable sharing of responsibility between consumers and oil corporations. At stake are the health of our economyand the continued good repair of our large, rapidly aging road and bridge network.

PennDOT’s staff was simply terrific when it came to delivering on thepromise President Obama and Congress held out with enactment of thefederal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Pennsylvania ranked No. 1 in how quickly and effectively it delivered more than $1 billion in Recovery Act work on the state-maintained highway and bridge system, an effort that meant more than 5,000 jobs per month that otherwise would not have existed.

Our investments in bridges are paying off: the number of structurally deficient bridges dropped from a high of 6,034 in 2008 to 5,448 in November 2010, the first time in roughly a decade that trend went down.We also continued our well-established partnerships with transit, rail, aviation and other industries, spurring growth and maintaining jobs whilewe improved and maintained vital infrastructure.

Pennsylvania’s transportation operations are more efficient than they were eight years ago, and we have improved the infrastructure of manymodes while facing dire funding challenges. Maintaining the level of service Pennsylvanians receive every day is a daunting task, but due to thehard work of PennDOT’s employees, the commonwealth’s transportationsystem continues to improve and stimulate our local economies.

Sincerely,

Governor

Secretary’s Message

Our 2010 annual report brings to a close Governor Edward G. Rendell’s administration of transportation issues. The men and women of PennDOTare proud to have added eight more years to the department’s previous 24years of thoughtful, continuous improvement. Some of this administration’s accomplishments have included improvement in highwayand bridge conditions across the state, a much improved system of transitfunding, effective use of resources through Smart Transportation approaches, an extensive series of efficiencies of saving hundreds of millions of dollars, and increased investment in rail freight, which will help ease congestion on our highways.

Over the past year, PennDOT has excelled in delivering on the investmentmade by President Obama and Congress through the American Recoveryand Reinvestment Act. The Recvoery Act granted Pennsylvania $1.028 billion for the state highway and bridge system, and Pennsylvania wasranked first in the nation for the efficiency with which it delivered 344 improvement projects. Public transit agencies received $346.4 million formore than 130 capital improvement projects. At its peak, the Recovery Actprovided thousands of jobs, helping to sustain the state’s economy in avery difficult time.

During our eight years, the shortage of needed resources was an ongoing challenge. Governor Rendell campaigned tirelessly for addedtransportation investment, both in Pennsylvania and around the nation.Finding consensus to tackle the issue was elusive and the new administration must decide how to best balance available resources with an ever-increasing backlog of highway, bridge and transit needs.

We hope you find our 2010 annual report informative. It has been atremendous pleasure and honor to serve these past eight years with the nearly 12,000 women and men of PennDOT. Together, we helped Pennsylvanians reach their destinations safely and smoothly.

Transporation FundingDuring 2010, Governor Rendell stepped up his campaign for additional investment in transportation. He called a special session of the Legislature and addressed a joint session of theGeneral Assembly on May 4, urging them to act on filling, atminimum, a $472 million hole left by federal rejection of the Interstate 80 tolling plan.

The day before the Governor’s address, the Transportation Advisory Committee released an updated review of transportationneeds across Pennsylvania and reported that the state wasshort $3.5 billion a year towards keeping highways, bridges andtransit in a state of good repair and allowing $300 million a yearin added capacity.

Noting the urgency, the Governor called on the Legislature toclose as much of that gap as possible. “I favor … acting now to address the long-term transportation challenges that confront us, both because it will make Pennsylvania more competitive, and because doing so will put tens of thousands of Pennsylvanians to work in good paying jobs,” the Governor said.

Following the address, the Governor did a statewide bus tourand held repeated news conferences to spread the messagethat transportation investment made great sense, especially intimes of economic trouble. The Governor also testified beforethe Senate Transportation Committee in July. He came prepared with details on road and bridge needs in each district of the individual committee members. The Governor’scampaign drew wide editorial support from newspapers.

“The bottom line is there is no easy solution,” The Patriot-Newsin Harrisburg noted. “Lawmakers will need to compromise todevelop a plan.”

The Scranton Times took a tough line, given the conditions ofbridges. “The state already has run out of excuses,” the paper

said June 13. “Now it’s running out of time. Explaining a vote toincrease the fuels tax is difficult for a politician, but easier thanexplaining why a bridge collapses into a river.”

To complement the Governor’s message, PennDOT developed a website that illustrates the infrastructure needs in Pennsylvaniaand the Governor’s funding proposal. The site, www.FundPATransportationNow.com, includes funding background information, maps of projects and scenariosfor roads, bridges and transit, among many other tools to inform the public.

In August, the Governor released poll results that found supportfor his ideas for imposing an 8 percent tax on the gross profitsof oil companies and increasing vehicle and license fees by therate of inflation since the last increase in 1997. The poll found74 percent would support the oil company tax and 48 percentfavored the fee increases compared to 45 percent opposed.

On Aug. 10, the Governor hosted a national forum sponsored by Building America’s Future, an advocate for transportation investment that the Governor created with California Gov.Arnold Schwarzenegger and New York City Mayor MichaelBloomberg. U.S. DOT Secretary Ray LaHood addressed the conference via satellite from Washington and said he was “moreoptimistic than ever” about the timing of major transportationpolicy legislation moving in Washington. LaHood predicted 85percent of the country would be connected via high speed railwithin 25 years.

Despite Governor Rendell’s tireless efforts and his message, theLegislature was hesitant to vote for either taxes or fees in anelection year.

“Every month we delay, the cost of repairs goes up,” the Governor noted. “The time for legislative action is now, otherwise future generations will pay a much higher cost.”

Governor Rendell addresses attendees beneath the Tilghman Street Bridgein Allentown during his Bus Tour on Aug. 3. Standing behind the Governor isDistrict Executive Mike Rebert. Allentown was one of 20 stops the Governormade during the four-day tour touting the state’s pressing transportationneeds and urging a legislative response.

Citing the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Unlocking Freight report, Governor Rendell calls for increased investment in freight infrastructure at the Norfolk Southern HarrisburgYard on July 8.

Aviation & Rail Freight

ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT SPURRED THROUGH TWO RAIL GRANT PROGRAMS

Pennsylvania invested $27.9 million in the Capital Budget Rail Transportation Assistance Program (RTAP) and $7.4 million in the RailFreight Assistance Program (RFAP) in 2010. These programs, managedby the Bureau of Rail Freight, Ports & Waterways, promote economic development and help maintain and improve the rail infrastructure inrural and urban areas.

The RTAP funding was invested in 23 projects that will ensure operational safety; provide businesses with efficient, more reliable railservice; and assist companies’ rail expansions. PennDOT utilized theRFAP funding to invest in a wide range of 23 projects and industries including: bridge and track rehabilitation, pharmaceuticals, industrial recycling, manufacturing, food processing, bulk transfer, and infrastructure for Marcellus Shale and other energy industries including ethanol and coal.

RAIL FREIGHT REGULATIONS, POLICY DEVELOPED

Draft grant regulations and internal policy for the Bureau of Rail Freight were completed in 2010. These will provide guidance and clarification to stakeholders in the administration of the bureau’s grant programs, as well as provide guidance for day-to-day operations. The regulations are continuing through the approval process of review by the Independent Regulatory Review Commission, approval by the legislature and the Governor’s Office. The bureau implemented the internal policy July 1 asguidance to complement the regulations after they receive final approval.

PENNDOT SPONSORS AVIATION ART CONTEST

PennDOT recognized 22 students for winning their divisions in the Bureau of Aviation’sart contest. The contest theme was “The View from the Pilot’s Seat.” One winner waschosen for the grades one through three and grades four and five divisions in each ofPennDOT’s districts.

Winners received a certificate and a 16-by-20 inch copy of their entry. The winners’school also received a copy.

To see the winners from this year and past years, visit www.dot.state.pa.us, click on Aviation & Rail Freight and click on “Communications” under the Bureau of Aviation page.

A 2009 Rail Freight Assistance Program grant of $658,000 wasawarded to Bionol Clearfield, LLC, to rehabilitate track and construct a new lead track into the facility.

Edward Kim of Sugartown Elementary won the grades fourthrough five division in District 6

Aviation & Rail Freight

MORE THAN $14 MILLION IN STATE AVIATION GRANTS AWARDED

Because of Governor Rendell’s commitment to transportation infrastructure, $38.8 million in state and federal funding was invested in 57 public-use airports in 2010. This funding allows airports to make needed safety and performance enhancements. Of the $38.8 million, the Bureau of Aviation allocated $6.6 million from the state Aviation Development Program for 39 projects at 28 airports; $7.8 million from the state transportation capital bond program for five projects at fiveairports; and $24.4 million in federal block grant funds for 47 projects at 33 airports.

The bureau also manages approximately 130 open aviation grants totaling more than $57.9 million in state and federal funds. The number of open grants remained the same as last year, with the slightly higher grant amount due to the bureau issuing largergrant amounts for several large projects that have been recently completed or are underway.

STUDENTS LEARN MERITS OF AVIATION AT CELEBRATION

Nearly 75 second-to-sixth grade students participated in PennDOT’s inaugural National Aviation Day Celebration, learning aboutthe state’s aviation industry and taking part in activities like pre-flight inspections and charting courses. In all, nearly 125 peoplefrom the public and sponsoring organizations attended the celebration.

Held Aug. 19 at Capital City Airport, New Cumberland at the Bureau of Aviation’s Flight Services Hangar, the day’s activities weredesigned to meet requirements for Scouting organizations’ Aviation and/or Aerospace Merit Badges.

While the itinerary was developed with scouting in mind, not all of the students were scouts and the activities were designed withbroad, hands-on appeal. Bureau staff and representatives from the Susquehanna Area Regional Airport Authority provided informational exhibits, aviation career examples and guided a tour of the airport. There was no charge for the day’s activities, which the bureau hopes to expand to other airports in the state next year.

Celebration attendees prepare to go on a tour of Capital City Airport, New Cumberland.

Bridges

ACCELERATED BRIDGE PROGRAM SURPASSES GOALS

Since taking office in 2003, Governor Rendell has quadrupled the investment in bridges as part of the Rebuild Pennsylvania Program. To that end, the department launched the Accelerated Bridge Program (ABP) in 2008. This program aimed to start repairson 1,145 structurally deficient bridges over its initial three years.

At the conclusion of the initial three years of the ABP, PennDOT has awarded contracts to rebuild over 1,530 SD bridges exceedingits goal by over 380 bridges. An additional 1,200 bridges have been preserved to keep them in good repair.

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act allowed for 140 of these structurally deficient bridge repairs. Coupled with an aggressive bridge preservation program, this work has resulted in a reduction in the number of structurally deficient bridgesstatewide – going from an all-time high of 6,034 bridges in 2008 to 5,448 in November. The program’s scope, inclusion of preservation and quick delivery sets it among the nation’s leading structurally deficient bridge programs.

Central Office Awards & Recognition

PennDOT, the Pennsylvania State Association of Township Supervisors, and Pennoni Associates Inc. were presented with a Certificate for Engineering Excellence by the American Council of Engineering Companies of Pennsylvania (ACEC/PA) at this year’sDiamond Awards Gala held on Feb. 4. The certificate was presented to the Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Team forits work on LTAP’s Local Safe Roads and Walkable Communities Programs. These programs focus on improving local road safetyby providing a series of specific, proven, low-cost countermeasures to local officials for use at high-crash locations. Also, the programs provide communities with a systematic process to annually review and improve safety for vehicles and pedestrians, resulting in a sustainable safety program. The programs are expected to result in improved safety and fewer crashes on Pennsylvania’s roads.

David Azzato, Gary Kleist and Brian Thompson from the Bureau of Design received a Governor’s Award for Excellence during Public Employee Recognition Week in May. They created an accelerated program to design and reconstruct a record number ofaging state-owned bridges. Work began on 470 bridges the first year with another 403 projected to start in the second year. Theteam made significant changes to improve the design, letting, advertising and award processes for construction projects, shatteringthe previous high mark by 40 percent or $800 million. The previous duration between advertising a project and start of constructionwas reduced from an average of 109 days to just 77 days. As a result, Pennsylvania ranks among the top states in the nation forspeed of delivery of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act road and bridge projects.

Susan Wilson, Bureau of Motor Vehicle Regulated Client Services Section Manager received the 2010 Internal Association of Auto Theft InvestigatorsGeorge J. Acker Memorial Award, which honors individuals for their outstandingefforts and work in the field of auto theft or fraud prevention, detection, or investigation, specifically in the area relating to documentation. Wilson was instrumental in creating and implementing an Agent Audit Unit, to provide the needed proactive oversight of the more than 8,000 contracted agents, messengers and dealers who do business on behalf of PennDOT. The unit helps to ensure they are in compliance with completing motor vehicle paperwork timely and correctly; and supporting the deterrence of fraud by some agents. The unit has already conducted approximately 600 agent audits.

Driver & Vehicle Services

PERSONALIZED LICENSE PLATE AVAILABILITY ONLINE CHECK IMPLEMENTED

Customers can now check the availability of personalized (vanity) license plates before making application with an addition PennDOT made to its Driver and Vehicle Services website, www.dmv.state.pa.us, in January. More than 1.1 million availability querieshave been completed through this channel. PennDOT’s online driver and vehicle services are available 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week, and there are no additional fees for using these services.

DRIVER LICENSE CENTER FACILITIES IMPROVED

Pittsburgh DLC RelocatedIn January, PennDOT moved its downtown Pittsburgh DLC. The new location provides expanded customer seating; a new, modern appearance; nearby paid parking; street-level access; and a customer service queuing system to increase the efficiency of operations.

Two Philadelphia-Area DLCs Consolidated Philadelphia-area residents are benefiting from expanded hours ofservice at the Lawndale DLC as PennDOT consolidated operationswith the Mayfair Driver License Center in June. The transfer of staffand equipment from the much-smaller Mayfair DLC allowed for improved customer service and convenience at the Lawndale DLC.PennDOT also contracted with one of its online messengers to opena photo center in the Mayfair Shopping Center in August, with facility costs covered by the online messenger.

Bortondale DLC RelocatedIn July, PennDOT relocated its Bortondale DLC next to the Granite Run Mall in Media, Pa. The new Granite Run Driver License Center provides more customer convenience with adequate parking and expanded customer seating in a facility three times the sizeof the former Bortondale location.

FARM VEHICLE, VEHICLE MAINTENANCE MATERIALS ADDED TO WEBSITE

This spring, PennDOT added materials on farm vehicle safety and vehicle maintenance to its Driver and Vehicle Services websiteunder the Motor Vehicle Information Center. The farm vehicle information was added at the recommendation of the Farm VehicleTask Force, comprised of PennDOT, the Department of Agriculture, the Pennsylvania State Police and interested stakeholders, suchas the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau and PennAg Industries Association. The Farm Vehicle and Equipment section contains valuable titling and registration information; size and weight limitations; safety materials; and inspection and safety requirements for farm vehicles and implements of husbandry.

The vehicle maintenance section was developed following a study of Pennsylvania’s Vehicle Safety Inspection Program, and aims to increase vehicle owners’ awareness of the importance of performing routine maintenance on their vehicles between inspections.PennDOT developed a vehicle maintenance checklist vehicle owners may download from the website as well as emergencydriving tactics should vehicle owners experience certain vehicle malfunctions, such as brake failure, tire blow out or the accelerator sticking.

Driver & Vehicle Services

NATIONAL MOTOR VEHICLE TITLING SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED

In May, PennDOT fully implemented the federally mandated National Motor Vehicle Titling Information System (NMVTIS).The implementation of NMVTIS is one more tool added to PennDOT’s already extensive efforts to mitigate the risk for vehicle fraudand protecting consumers from the pitfalls of unsafe or stolen vehicles. NMVTIS provides an electronic means to verify and exchangetitle, brand and theft data among states before issuing a title to prevent the introduction or reintroduction of stolen motor vehiclesand parts into interstate commerce.

MATURE DRIVER SAFETY STUDY COMPLETED

In August, PennDOT completed a yearlong study of mature drivers in Pennsylvania, which evaluated the current mature driver programs in Pennsylvania as well as crash reports and driver histories. The study showed the difficulties mature drivers have navigating intersections; and that mature drivers who have been reported as having medical conditions, which may impact theirability to drive, are much more likely to be in crashes or convicted of driving violations. Key study recommendations include the continued implementation of engineering improvements that make roadway navigation easier for all drivers; greater communicationof current mature driver programs currently available in Pennsylvania; and a self-assessment tool, particularly related to vision.

PENNDOT ISSUING CLASS M (MOTORCYCLE) LICENSES WITH "9" RESTRICTION

With the increasing popularity of non-conventional, three-wheeled motorcycles, PennDOT began issuing Class M (motorcycle) licenses with a "9" restriction in June, to individuals who took the motorcycle skills test on a three-wheeled motorcycle. Individualswith the "9" restriction cannot operate a two-wheeled motorcycle, since someone who has mastered the knowledge and skills of operating a three-wheeled motorcycle may not possess the knowledge and skills needed to safely ride a two-wheeled, or conventional, motorcycle.

DRIVER RECORD INFORMATION EXPANDED

In July, PennDOT began providing more information to employers about their employees’ driving histories by expanding the section on the driver record that lists crashes and departmental actions to include severity of the crash, i.e. fatal crash; injury crash;or property damage only crash. Since PennDOT does not determine fault, crashes listed on the driver record do not indicate whetherthe individual was at fault for the crash. PennDOT also modified the amount of driving history provided to commercial drivers’employers. These employers automatically receive a complete driving history through an electronic service channel, rather than a 10-year history, at no additional charge.

MEDICAL RECALLS ACCELERATED

Several steps were taken to expedite the removal of medically incompetent drivers from the road. PennDOT decreased the time between when drivers receive notice of their driver’s license being medically recalled and the date the recall becomes effective. A prioritization process was implemented for forms from health care professionals indicating a driver should be immediatelyremoved from the road. PennDOT also added a Medical Reporting Information Center to its Driver and Vehicle Services website tobetter educate health care professionals about conditions that may require the recall of a driver’s license as well as provide access tothe applicable forms.

DISTRICT 6 STAFF AID IN WINTER EMERGENCY

Bucks County and Philadelphia maintenance managers, crews and contractor drivers came to the rescue during the Feb. 10snowstorm with a plow-truck escort for an ambulance transporting an injured infant. Bucks County Maintenance Manager Dawn Knisley directed Assistant Manager Cal Morrison and Foreman Wayne Clark of her staff, plus two contractors, to escort the ambulance from St. Mary Medical Center in Langhorne to the Bucks County/Philadelphia County line, where PhiladelphiaMaintenance Foreman Tony Pellot and Equipment Operator Tom McDowell took over, making sure the ambulance safely arrived at St. Christopher’s Hospital in North Philadelphia with their plows clearing the way.

The ordeal began when six-week old Damian Kieffer squirmed and wriggled, and fell out of his mother’s arms at their BucksCounty home. After a frantic call to 911, the baby was rushed to St. Mary Medical Center, but doctors determined the boy neededmore specialized care at St. Christopher’s. However, paramedics were stuck in a snow drift and they needed PennDOT’s help totransport the infant on the snow-bound roads.

Thankfully, Damian got the medical attention he needed and he has recovered from his fractured skull. His mother and grandmother were grateful that PennDOT crews were there to help.

DISTRICT 8 OPERATORS HELP SAVE LIFE

One outstanding act of service performed during the blizzard inFebruary occurred in Adams and York counties. An Adams Countyresident suffered a heart attack the first night of the storm and wastaken to Gettysburg Hospital. The patient couldn’t be stabilizedthere, however, and needed to be immediately transported to YorkHospital where the necessary equipment was available to save hislife. Unfortunately, the roads were impassible. That’s when one ofthe paramedics thought of contacting PennDOT.

The paramedic reached Radio Operator Bill Fitzpatrick of AdamsCounty Maintenance. Acting Assistant County Manager SkipMessinger arranged for Operator Nevin Lehman to plow the wayfor the ambulance to reach York County where Operator EricSchade of York County maintenance led them the rest of the wayto York Hospital. In a letter from the president of Gettysburg Hospital to PennDOT Deputy Secretary for Highway Administration Scott Christie, Dr. Kevin Mosser wrote:

“When my staff contacted the PennDOT dispatcher, there was no hesitation. Within 10 minutes we were ready to go, and yourplows led the way across Route 30 for our ambulance and ALS unit, all the way to the York Hospital Emergency Room. The can-doattitude, coordination of personnel, courtesy and support were remarkable. You can be incredibly proud of your staff and their response to this request. They worked with us to save this patient’s life.”

To express their appreciation, the hospital’s board of directors invited Skip, Nevin, Billy and the paramedics to a board meeting,where they received recognition for their assistance.

Nevin Lehman accepts a certificate of appreciation from DoraTownsend, secretary of the Gettysburg Hospital Board of Directors.

Highways

MORE THAN $2.2 BILLION INVESTED IN ROADS AND BRIDGES

More than $2.2 billion was invested in Pennsylvania’s highways and bridges in 2010, with the help of federal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act funding. Roughly $2.7 billion was invested in 2009, including recovery act funding. For the 2010 Base Program, 81 percent of the projects were bid on the planned dates. For the Recovery Act Program, 92 percent of the projects were bid on the planned dates.

511PA TRAVELER INFORMATION SYSTEM PROVING EFFECTIVE

In September 2009, PennDOT launched a statewide traveler information serviceknown as 511PA. The system is accessible by dialing “511” from any telephone oron the web at www.511PA.com.

511PA provides near real-time traffic information for more than 2,900 miles of interstate highways and other significant routes, as well as weather, transit andtourism information. The website offers access to more than 475 traffic cameras.Users can also subscribe to receive e-mail or text-message traffic alerts. Information in 511PA is compiled from public sources including PennDOT andPennsylvania Turnpike traffic operations, as well as data from a private contractor.

In its first year of service, 511PA had more than 697,000 website visits; more than 490,000 calls to the phone system; and approximately 7,800 subscribers to the 511PA personal traveler alert system.

LOCAL ROADS, INTERSTATE RAMPS RECEIVE TRAFFIC COUNTS

To meet federal requirements while operating within a fixed budget, the Bureau of Planning and Research is in its second year ofcounting traffic on municipally owned roads. First collected in the spring of 2009, 7,200 local road traffic counts were conductedacross the state to achieve a statewide data baseline.

The Federal Highway Administration’s Highway Performance Monitoring System (HPMS) requires Pennsylvania to report an estimated traffic volume on the 73,805 linear miles of municipal-owned roads not on the Federal-Aid System. A research study wasconducted to develop a statistically valid method of traffic estimation that would fit within resources. The study determined that traffic on one of every seven miles of urban road and one of every 10 miles of rural road should be counted. The 7,200 sites were randomly selected. A $450,000 grant from the Bureau of Highway Safety and Traffic Engineering made the data collection possible,and the bureau will utilize the data in its local-road crash reporting efforts.

The second round of trafffic counting started in March. For contract efficiencies and to start a 10-year counting cycle, this round contained a smaller number of counts and was conducted in PennDOT’s Districts 2 and 9. The impacted municipalities received certified letters to notify them of the count locations.

The HPMS also requires that traffic-route ramps be counted. Traffic on all 1,959 interstate ramps was counted from March throughNovember, while traffic on other routes will be counted in the future.

GREENE COUNTY WELCOME CENTER ROOF PROJECT SHOWS PENNDOT’S “GREEN” SIDE

After showing signs of leaks for some time, the roof on the GreeneCounty Welcome Center had an elastometric rubber roof installed as an alternative to a costly roof replacement. Essentially, an elastomeric roof is a liquid rubber that can be applied by brush, roller or airless sprayer. When dry, it creates a thick rubber membraneover the existing roof, sealing off any cracks, open seams and gaps.

The first “green” realized on this project was the tremendous dollarsavings over doing a tear off and replacement. The cost of this systemis one fourth the cost of a completely new roof. These factors resultedin a $150,000 cost savings, and also received a 10-year warranty withthe new roof.

Another “green” savings was the saving on landfill space. A complete roof replacement could have created as much as 60 cubicyards of waste material. The new roof created no residual waste beyond what the workers created. Even the metal buckets in whichthe material is shipped are recyclable!

The third “green” factor is the material’s color. The flat roofs have a reflective white finish that should directly correlate to energysavings during the building’s cooling mode. The high-pitched metal roofs are hunter green, tinted to an exact match of the building’s color scheme.

PENNDOT RECYCLES WITH RECLAIMED ASPHALT PAVEMENT

Reclaimed Asphalt Pavement (RAP) is recycled into new asphalt concrete mixtures. This recycling reuses the asphalt binder and aggregates contained in the RAP so less virgin asphalt binder and less virgin aggregates are required to produce new asphalt concrete mixtures. The percentage of new asphalt concrete mixtures containing RAP has steadily grown from 30 percent in 2004, 49 percent in 2006, and 60 percent in 2008 to 76 percent so far in 2010.

In addition, PennDOT used 426,175 tons of RAP in a cold mix application to restore low-volume roads.

WARM-MIX ASPHALT YIELDS BENEFITS

Warm-Mix Asphalt (WMA) refers to asphalt concrete mixtures produced at temperatures approximately 50 degrees cooler than traditional hot-mix asphalt production. The production temperatures yield benefits including lower greenhouse gas emissions, lowerfuel consumption and reduced asphalt fumes exposure. WMA usage has grown from 8,600 tons in 2008 and 150,000 tons in 2009 to230,000 tons in 2010.

JUNIATA COUNTY BRIDGE DECK CORE DRILL INNOVATION

The Juniata County Bridge Crew was faced with the task of making highpriority repairs to bridge beams that usually required a jackhammer, intensivelabor and long hours.

Instead, they bought a core drill, which would allow them to quickly drill holesthrough the deck and make the concrete repairs more easily. Once the countypurchased the core drill, the crew decided to do a test run and found thatusing the factory core drill vacuum base made it difficult to keep the core drillstable and keep the bit from binding. Operating in this way would requirelengthy time to drill each core hole.

Rather than accept these results, the group got creative. Working with Maintenance Repairman Roy Clark, county staff helped fabricate a new base for the core drill that could be clamped onto construction equipment.The improved stability allowed the crew to core-drill the bridge decks in about half the time.

The new approach saves about 20 minutes with each application. When considering each bridge deck requires 46 cores, that’s atime savings of more than 15 hours. With a seven-person crew, that’s a two-day savings of 105-man-hours at an average of $20 perhour. That makes a total savings of $2,100 per bridge!

PennDOT’s innovative team members included Randy Kerstetter (Foreman III), Roy Clark, Barry Messimer, Keith Kauffman, RodneyChubb, Scott Zimmerman, Greg Maneval, Larry Leister (MR), Michael Hower and Scott Wade.

HOT MIX ASPHALT INNOVATION WINS NATIONAL AWARD

District 2 identified a need to ensure the quality of hot mix asphalt (HMA) paving mixes to improve pavement life and performance.The district Materials Unit worked with HMA producers to develop a computer-based, HMA optimization program.

The program compiles reports based on data from materials testing in the PennDOT lab and data submitted from producer testing.The reports compare PennDOT’s results to the producers’ results and give a graphical representation of the data that is more comprehensive than standard testing results. The data is shared with producers at an annual meeting to ensure PennDOT receives a quality product, which leads to less maintenance, longer pavement life cycles and improved driving conditions.

Because of these efforts, the unit earned a 2010 American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Performance Excellence Award from its Standing Committee on Performance Management.

John Swalligan, a Material Manager 1 and the program developer, is a past PennDOT Star of Excellence award winner and was theteam leader on this process. John credits the Material Unit team for its excellent work and dedication. Team members include: Jason Rankin, Daryl Biechner, Tim Oswalt, Neal Fannin, Ed Moltz, John Swalligan, Dan Rucinski, Brian Myers, Jim Shipe, Bill Raco,Jacob Ward.

Transit

EFFICIENCIES, IMPROVED SERVICE REALIZED THROUGH ACT 44

Since Act 44 of 2007 was signed, PennDOT implemented its transit measures with an emphasis on improved system performanceand program management efficiencies. Transit systems receive increased investment from local government, with improved servicethrough emphasis on system maintenance rather than expansion; energy-efficient choices; improved technology and individual system cost reduction initiatives.

In addition to these steps, local governments and transportation systems have expressed interest in consolidating operations orservices on regional, rather than county, levels. This would offer better cross-county service and could realize significant savings and efficiencies. PennDOT is assisting select consolidation studies and projects across the state.

PennDOT’s management of public transportation funding, which exceeds $1 billion annually, was transformed with an emphasis onstreamlining, standardizing and consolidating processes and redirecting resources to value-added functions. PennDOT:

• Reorganized staff, consolidating administrative functions and redirecting professional staff to analysis and performance-related work.

• Implemented an electronic grants management system, which consolidated 14 grant programs into two major programs – operating and capital assistance – for the majority of transit systems, plus four specialized programs for community transportation, intercity rail, intercity bus and federal small-vehicle procurement.

• Created a state management procurement process for small-vehicle purchases, resulting in savings of nearly $20 million annually and shortened delivery time.

• Initiated transit system performance reviews to measure performance trends, assess performance compared to peers, set performance targets and provide technical assistance.

ALTERNATIVE TRANSPORTATION WEBSITE LAUNCHED

To help residents explore the many alternative transportation options available across thestate, the PennDOT launched the PACommutes website: www.PACommutes.com.

The website offers commuters a one-stop shop for ways to save money on transportation, tipson “greening” their commute, and shows what public transportation options are available ineach county. An array of topics are covered, including how to begin a biking or walking routine,how to set up a car or van pool, and what services are offered for older residents and people with disabilities.

The site also includes a Match & Ride tool that helps people find car pool partners quickly and safely online. Also, informative service videos from transportation providers and other “how-to” resources are included.

Planning & Delivery

PLANNING PROCESS FULLY INTEGRATES SMART TRANSPORTATION

Faced with dramatic increases in fuel and commodity prices and a large backlog of unmet maintenance needs, PennDOT has been adjusting how it thinks about providing lasting value. The “Smart Transportation” approach is a significant break from the traditional considerations for transportation improvement projects used over the past 50 years. Smart transportation allows for innovative solutions to create a transportation system that supports sustainable communities, a vibrant economy, environmentalstewardship and fiscal responsibility.

In collaboration with our transportation planning partners, Smart Transportation was fully integrated into PennDOT’s project development process. The new process is being implemented for the 2013 update of our State Transportation Improvement Program. A key process component involves planning with a greater emphasis on the existing infrastructure’s asset management.The process ensures that the most-urgent needs are identified in planning and provides a better understanding of issues that mayimpact project delivery, which provides better schedule and budget predictability.

For more information, visit www.smart-transportation.com.

PENNDOT MEETS INCREASED PROJECT DELIVERY DEMANDS

In early 2009, PennDOT established a Project Delivery Operations Center—or PDOC – to monitor progress of key milestones of everyfederal American Recovery and Reinvestment Act project and to reduce the time from project advertisement to “shovel in theground.” The strategy reduced time delivery by 30 percent, from an average of 109 days to 78 days. These efforts continued in 2010.

The PDOC currently manages the department’s Base Program, including the Accelerated Bridge Program, and the Recovery ActProgram. PennDOT publishes more than 40 performance metrics regarding bridge and highway design and construction projects. Asa measure of data exchange and transparency, PennDOT issues quarterly project-delivery performance measures via the Project Delivery Quarterly newsletter (available at www.dot.state.pa.us under “More News& Media”).

In 2010, PennDOT invested $2.3 billion for highway and bridge projects (see Highways page for details). This includes 117 design-build contracts, which combine contracts for design and construction into one contract. This is a decrease from the 192 similar projects bid in 2009, but an increase from the average of 16 design-build projects bid annually from 2003-08.

PENNSYLVANIA ON TRACK FOR HIGHWAY FATALITY REDUCTION GOAL

After seeing historic reductions in traffic-related fatalities in 2009, and based on current trends, Pennsylvania is on track to comeclose to meeting its 2010 goal of having fewer than 1,250 traffic-related fatalities. Safety education and enforcement programs, infrastructure improvements, vehicle safety enhancements, and driving habits are some contributing factors to these reductions.

In 2009, pedestrian fatalities reached a 10-year low and can be accredited to improvements such as the installation of 1,013 Yield-to-Pedestrian Channelizing Devices, which increase drivers’ rate of yielding to pedestrians by 30 to 40 percent.

Single Vehicle Run-Off-the-Road Crashes were also at a 10-year low. In an effort to keep this number low in 2010, PennDOT installedapproximately 750 miles of edge-line rumble strips. Installation of edge-line/shoulder rumble strips has been proven to reduce run-off-the-road crashes by 28 to 37 percent. Another infrastructure improvement included the installation of approximately 1,000miles of centerline rumble strips to address head-on collisions.

In MemoriamPennDOT lost three employees in work zone incidents in 2010. Thomas Allen, 57, of Lebanon County; Richard Bentel, 43, of Lawrence County; and Jack Griffin, 51, of McKean County died in the line of duty. Their passing brings the total of PennDOT employees killed in the line of duty since 1970 to 82. PennDOT follows a “safety first” approach in its’ operations,and encourages motorists to visit the Work Zone Safety information center on www.DriveSafePA.org to learn how they canhelp prevent these tragedies.

CRASH RECORD LAW ENFORCEMENT LIAISON PROGRAM

PennDOT teamed up with the North Central Highway Safety Network to implement six Crash Record Law Enforcement Liaisonsaround the state. PennDOT designed the program to assist the state's 1,200 Law Enforcement Agencies (LEAs) in the transition ofsubmitting more timely and accurate crash data. The liaisons were in personal contact with 792 LEAs, offered trainings in 458 agencies, and provided 594 patrol officers instruction on the importance of timely and accurate crash data. During the first year ofthe program's implementation reporting into the national crash database was cut from 13 days to 3 days. Additionally, electroniccrash report submission reached an all time high of 88 percent, compared to 68 percent before the project.

The program has also strengthened relationships among PennDOT employees, Pennsylvania State Police and local police agencies.

AIR, LAND AND SPEED CAMPAIGN

PennDOT and the Pennsylvania State Police introduced the Air, Land and Speed Campaign in support of this year’s national MemorialDay Click It or Ticket seat belt enforcement effort. Under Pennsylvania’s law, all front seat passengers are required to buckle up.

The campaign focused on high-risk areas and was enforced by the State Police Aerial Reconnaissance and Enforcement program.Aircraft checked motorists’ speed and troopers on the road were notified of which cars to stop. As Pennsylvania’s seat belt law is secondary, where an officer can only cite a motorist if they are first cited for another traffic-related offense, the campaign targetedspeeding motorists with an emphasis on observing seat belt usage.

Over 450 municipal police departments provided support to this initiative with coordination by PennDOT. During the mobilization,state and local officers issued 4,463 seat belt citations and 204 child safety seat citations. Municipal officers also apprehended 58felony offenders and made, 274 DUI and 114 drug arrests.

LIVE FREE RIDE ALIVE CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED

Based upon findings of a motorcycle safety study completed in 2009, revealing the factorsmost closely linked to the severity of injury or the occurrence of a fatality in a crash are underthe direct control of motorcycle operators, PennDOT launched the Live Free Ride Alive motorcycle safety campaign in March. The campaign utilized several types of media, including a website, www.LiveFreeRideAlive.com, to challenge riders to accept personal responsibility for their own safety and to spread the word that the greatest impacts on crashseverity are factors under the rider’s control, such as speeding, DUI, and being properlytrained and licensed to operate a motorcycle. A campaign documentary, featuring several

Pennsylvania riders, their families and friends, premiered in July. The documentary celebrates the freedom that comes with riding,and takes a hard and sobering look at what happens when it’s gone.

MATURE DRIVER SAFETY SYMPOSIUM CONDUCTED

As part of the Mature Driver Safety Study, PennDOT conducted a Mature Driver Safety Symposium in April, which featured speakersfrom the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the Federal Highway Administration, Penn State's Center of Gerontologyand PennDOT. The symposium included a panel discussion and breakout sessions with informative discussions on topics like roadway safety countermeasures; medical conditions and driving; the roles of family, friends and law enforcement; maintaining driving skills; and public policy. The symposium developed recommended actions to enhance mature drivers’ safety in Pennsylvania.

HIGHWAY SAFETY PROGRAM FOR SCHOOLS UPDATED

PennDOT launched a revamped Survival 101 traffic safety program for students in grades six through 12 that focuses on a range ofdriver behavior issues. The program, first introduced in 2003, was updated to include distracted driving and fatigue to its topics. The new program also includes a video and 9-1-1 re-enactment created using students from Ringghold High School in WashingtonCounty and Minersville Area High School in Schuylkill County.

Survival 101 is presented by trained police officers who share real-life experiences. Officers also encourage students to take responsibility for their actions.

PennDOT also offers two other programs. The Back Is Where It’s At, which is for elementary students, and the Sixteen Minutes program for high school students. During the previous school year, more than 650 programs were presented to more than 35,000students statewide. These programs can be requested through PennDOT's highway safety website, www.DriveSafePA.org, by clicking on “Resource Center,” then “School Traffic Safety Resources” and then “Buckle Up PA School Programs.”
