Update #62 Latest State by State Impact of Coronavirus On MEMORANDUM TO: BOARD OF DIRECTORS COUNCIL OF STATE EXECUTIVES FR: RICH JULIANO, GENERAL COUNSEL RE: STATE-BY-STATE COMPILATION – EFFECT OF CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC ON TRANSPORTATION PROJECTS (EDITION #62) DATE: JULY 27, 2020 – PM ARTBA is closely monitoring the status of transportation construction projects across the country in light of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. We are consulting with our affiliated chapters and members on a continual basis. Several chapters have shared the status reports they have made to their members, and are allowing us to excerpt them in this document. The information below also reflects reports made through our Council of State Executives, as well as direct contacts and news stories. Several public agencies have provided updates to ARTBA directly. As is noted a number of times, ARTBA’s affiliates have remained in close contact with their respective governors and/or state departments of transportation since this crisis developed. We have highlighted all content added or revised since the previous edition of this memo. Please note this is a current snapshot of project status at the state level. You are welcome to pass along any items of interest to me at [email protected], which we will utilize for the next edition of this report. Best wishes to everyone, and thank you for your participation in and support of ARTBA at this important time. NOTE: ARTBA President & CEO Dave Bauer wrote an op ed piece, “Yes, this is the ideal time to be fixing roads,” appearing in the Washington Examiner (4/7). The content is based largely on information provided on our members, chapters and state DOTs for this report. It can be found here: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/op-eds/yes-this-is-the-ideal-time-to-be- fixing-roads. © 2020 – American Road & Transportation Builders Association 1 New in this Edition Material from these states… Connecticut: Governor Lamont Statement on Workers’ Compensation Illinois: Latest Multi-Year Plan Continues Multi-Billion Transportation Spending Trend Indiana: A $240M reconstruction of the North Split may begin this winter. New York: Coalition of Associations Sends Letter to Empire State Development Regarding Funding and Payment on Projects North Dakota: Operation Prairie Dog funds delayed for state infrastructure projects Tennessee: Update on gas tax revenues Virginia: VDOT Launches New Website Supporting I-81 Corridor Improvements Wisconsin: Governor Orders $250 Million in Spending Cuts; Transportation Programs Not Affected Current Highlights Transportation construction projects are moving forward in every state. Nearly every governor issuing a “stay at home” order has also implicitly or explicitly designated public works construction as an “essential” or “critical” line of business, allowing projects to remain open. Some of the state executive orders have referenced the federal Guidance on the Essential Critical Infrastructure Workforce, issued by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). CISA issued its “3.1” version of the guidance on Tuesday 5/19 (see below). Contractors are implementing COVID-19 safeguards as recommended by the Centers for Disease Control, their respective public health agencies, and others. Several state DOTs and/or industry groups/coalitions have issued guidance in this area. Several state DOTs are working with industry on accelerating projects by taking advantage of lower traffic volumes. States are now quantifying actual and projected transportation-related revenue losses from the pandemic. Some, such as North Carolina, Missouri, Kentucky and Pennsylvania, have announced reductions in their construction programs. State DOTs are increasingly implementing processes using electronic documents, to avoid the need for handling hard copies of forms, tickets and the like. Many state DOTs have put office employees on telework status. Generally, field staff are considered “essential,” which helps enable projects to continue. © 2020 – American Road & Transportation Builders Association 2 Table of Contents Cybersecurity and

  • ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Persevering and Progressing During the Pandemic MAASTO a LETTER from 2021 the PRESIDENT
    MAASTO Mid America Association of State Transportation Officials ANNUAL REPORT 2021 Persevering and progressing during the pandemic MAASTO A LETTER FROM 2021 THE PRESIDENT 2020 was a year that tested our society on every level, including our transportation system. The COVID-19 pandemic, and its impacts on the behavior of drivers and consumers, created both unprecedented challenges and opportunities. The calls for social justice and an end to oppression caused us to renew our focus on the way our organizations and our transportation projects affect issues of diversity, equity and inclusion. And as we scrambled to meet the demands of the present, we were keenly aware of the need to plan for the future of transportation, with the promise of new technologies that will transform our mobility options in profound ways. It was a year in which the value of MAASTO to its member transportation agencies and the people they serve was especially evident. When the pandemic hit, MAASTO provided the perfect platform for transportation leaders in the Midwest to compare notes on the emerging situation and share best practices for maintaining our transportation system and responding to the crisis. MAASTO established an Equity and Inclusion Committee to help us learn from each other, both on creating a more equitable workplace and to understand and promote positive outcomes for communities. And we continued to prepare for the advent of Connected and Autonomous Vehicle (CAV) technology, establishing a CAV committee and conducting the second annual MAASTO CAV Summit in October. All the Midwestern states are facing similar challenges to understand how the transportation role of state government will be affected – from changes to laws and regulations to ensuring that this new technology benefits everyone in our states.

  • Monroe County Manufacturing & Logistics Overview
    MONROE COUNTY MANUFACTURING AND LOGISTICS INDUSTRY OVERVIEW COUNTY OVERVIEW Monroe County, Illinois, sits in the southern portion of the St. Louis region -- a vital transportation hub and home to all four major modes of transportation including road, rail, water and air. The county lies just east of the Mississippi River and south of the St. Louis metropolitan area, among lush rolling hills dotted with numerous picturesque communities that are home to growing populations and thriving businesses. These communities include the towns of Columbia, Waterloo (county seat), Valmeyer and Hecker, as well as other smaller villages such as Maeystown and Fults. Featuring the safest municipalities in the state, it has been one of the fastest growing counties in the bi-state area, seeing its population increase nearly 20% between 2000 and 2010, before posting a more modest increase of another 4% (32,431 to 33,739) between 2010 and 2017 (U.S. Census). Monroe County also is home to approximately 3,000 businesses of many different types, from manufacturing and light industrial, to technology, professional services, warehouse and distribution, retail, and corporate headquarters. Since 2016, economic development in the county has been guided by the Monroe County IL Economic Development Corporation (MCILEDC), which aligns the efforts of public and private leaders to move the economy forward in the county and other opportunity areas in adjacent Randolph and St. Clair Counties. Its governing Board is made up of 30 business and government leaders dedicated to continuing to grow a more diversified local economy, a broader tax base and an enhanced quality of life for the region.
