Advancing Transportation Operations Programs Using Capability Maturity Frameworks Including a Work Zone Management Case Study

The FHWA Organizing and Planning for Operations Team invites you to a webinar on using the FHWA-developed Capability Maturity Frameworks (CMF) to advance transportation operations organizational capabilities. This webinar will provide information on the background of the CMF program, introduce participants to the CMF self-assessment and capability advancement process, and provide information on available CMF resources, including online tools and FHWA-sponsored workshops. In addition, the webinar will explain how the CMFs can be integrated with existing initiatives such as Weather Savvy Roads, Work Zone Management Process Reviews, and Integrated Corridor Management. This webinar will also include a case study for how the CMFs can be integrated with ongoing agency initiatives, and the Kansas Department of Transportation will share their experience integrating the Work Zone CMF into the agency’s biennial Work Zone Management Process Review.
