2013 Status of the Nation's Highways, Bridges and Transit: Conditions & Performance
"This document is intended to provide decision makers with an objective appraisal of the physical conditions, operational performances, and financing mechanisms of highways, bridges, and transit systems based both on the current state of these systems and on their projected future state under a set of alternative future investment scenarios. This report offers a comprehensive, data-driven background context to support the development and evaluation of legislative, program, and budget options at all levels of government. It also serves as a primary source of information for national and international news media, transportation associations, and industry. This C&P [Conditions & Performance] report consolidates conditions, performance, and financial data provided by States, local governments, and public transit operators to provide a national-level summary. Some of the underlying data are available through the U.S. DOT's [Department of Transportation] regular statistical publications. The future investment scenario analyses are developed specifically for this report and provide national-level projections only."

Preparedness and Catastrophic Event Management for the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Area
"The devastating effects of terrorism are distinctly clear and realistic to our generation with the haunting September 11 attacks, the 2005 subway bombings in London, the 2009 attempted Christmas attack, and constant turmoil overseas. Therefore, it is important to examine and assess the outcome of potential terrorist attacks in preparation for an emergency evacuation by minimizing damages and enhancing solutions for the safety of the public. Most specifically, there is a need to investigate the ways in which a terrorist attack could affect a transportation network in densely populated areas and develop efficient emergency evacuation plans. Since 2007, Florida Atlantic University's Transportation Research Group has developed several emergency management scenarios involving immediate aftermaths of terrorist attacks in Washington, D.C.This project is an accumulation of three separate case studies that were conducted in the Washington, D.C. downtown area with various degrees of specification. The purpose of this research is to examine and assess the existing infrastructure's ability to handle specified disasters and to make recommendations based upon the findings of this research."
