Project 15.8
Activity to Support the Work Zone Data Initiative – Phase 1

The North/West Passage members are aware of national work zone data management efforts, including the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) WZDI and the US Department of Transportation (USDOT) Work Zone Data Exchange (WZDx) that aims to create a consistent language for communicating work zone activity data (WZAD) across jurisdictional boundaries.

North/West Passage completed a project (Project 13.4 NWP Traveler Information Work Zone Alerts Feasibility Study) in November 2019 to track current national work zone data management efforts, including pilot activities and funding opportunities, and to document current practices in North/West Passage states. This report summarized the information gathered and shared by North/West Passage members on project webinars.

The purpose of this project was to build from the results of Project 13.4 and advance an activity to support advancing the WZDI within the North/West Passage member states. Washington State DOT submitted a response to the WZDX grant demonstration that tied in benefits to North/West Passage and was successful in receiving the grant, some funding from North/West Passage was used towards the match from this project. Minnesota DOT was also successful in receiving a grant.
