Connected Cities with Smart Transportation
The AASHTO-FHWA Joint Agreement for the Implementation of MASH 2016 requires that any roadside safety hardware (guide rail, bridge rail, transitions, attenuators, etc.) to be installed on the National Highway System must be MASH-compliant. Transitions were not previously required to be crash tested, so the NYSDOT designs needs to be.

The Pink Tax is a form of gender-based price discrimination concerning the upcharge women pay for specific products or services. This white paper is based on the conviction that innovations to increase personal safety and improve accessibility for caregivers will provide greater access to education and jobs, deliver health benefits from more active transportation, and support women’s confidence and well-being in trip planning—while greatly reducing carbon emissions.
Registration for upcoming classes has opened. The Student Learning Hub offered courses on blockchain, cybersecurity, computer vision, Python, ArcGIS, and research applications for virtual reality. Looking ahead, our goal is to expand our breadth of topics to become more multidisciplinary, and to open teaching opportunities beyond C2SMART to our other university partners to help supply a fast-growing workforce with research- and job-ready skills.
