Smarter Work Zone Intelligent Transportation Systems – Grant Course

Smarter Work Zones was an FHWA Every Day Counts (EDC) initiative that is assisting State DOTs
in effectively managing traffic during construction. The Smarter Work Zones initiative involves
both enhanced project coordination as well as the use of work zone intelligent transportation
systems (ITS). By coordinating across agencies, combining projects, and effectively planning for
minimal impacts from utility work and right-of-way acquisition, stakeholders can improve
performance. Upon completion of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Define Smarter Work Zones.
2. Understand technology and the use of ITS to support effective work zone management
   and operations.
3. Discuss the Work Zone ITS Implementation Guide.
4. Provide a comprehensive overview of corridor and project work zone coordination
