Outreach and Upcoming Events

FHWA’s RWMP develops, sustains, and grows partnerships with the road weather community, stakeholders, and organizations through in-person events, webinars, resources, and other outreach opportunities. State departments of transportation have needs and constraints regarding knowledge and technology transfer as the list to the right highlights.

RWMP disseminates relevant, proven road weather practices, tools, technologies, trainings, and strategies to meet these challenges, both for State departments of transportation and other stakeholders. The team produces and distributes resources in a plethora of mediums, such as:

Quarterly newsletters: Topics include new research, outreach products, funding opportunities and more. Sign up to receive our quarterly newsletter.
Factsheets, Case Studies, Technical Briefs: These products range in subject matter and offer detailed information in various form factors.
Stakeholder events: These in-person and virtual events help the RWMP keep a pulse on what is new and what the various audiences are looking for in terms of tools and research.
Webinars: RWMP-focused webinars provide stakeholders with tailored information on important topics like agency initiatives, new technologies and data, and case studies conducted by various agencies and State DOTs.
