Public Competition illustrated best practices in communicating transportation system resiliency and sustainability in the midst of extreme weather conditions. The Colorado Department of Transportation (DOT) received top honors in the competition for its entry, “U.S. 34 Flood Recovery Project.” Colorado DOT used communication tools including public meetings, fact sheets, and an online tutorial. The team also coordinated with service providers like the U.S. Postal Service, school district transportation officials, package delivery services, waste haulers, propane delivery companies, residential contractors, and tourism industry leaders. More than 300 Internet and television media stories were published to keep the local communities informed. Also receiving honors was the Vermont Agency of Transportation for the entry “VT Transportation Resilience Planning Tool" and Rhode Island Department of Transportation for "Resilient Rhody Resources: Planning for Climate Change in Rhode Island."
