In April 2018, NOCoE hosted a virtual peer exchange where representatives from 10 agencies described their findings and observations about the 2017 solar eclipse in an online web meeting. As a proceeding to the peer exchange, NOCoE has created a dedicated webpage for each state to gather the agency’s lessons learned and findings on the 2017 solar eclipse.

Super Bowl XLVIII: Touchdown for TSMO
|
|
The New Jersey Department of Transportation (NJDOT) and its partners were charged with traffic management responsibility for Super Bowl XLVIII (February 02, 2014). This level of traffic management required more planning and greater focus than the typical Planned Special Events (PSE). The Super Bowl is much more than just a football game on a Sunday; it is an entire week of events and transportation challenges that agencies must plan for in order to operate an efficient transportation system.
In this case study you will learn:
- This was the first “mass transit” Super Bowl with very few parking spots and no tailgating or drop-offs allowed.
- That with NJDOT and NJSP as co-leaders, a core team of stakeholders including police, consultants, the Super Bowl host committee and partner agencies began planning over a year in advance.
- Tabletop exercises were held to model scenarios and document response actions or preparation, as well as design contingencies.

State DOT leaders will discuss the purpose and overview of the manual and how their agency is benefitting from its use. We'll also hear about strategies to incorporate TSMO into agencies by using the TOM.

The Congestion Relief Grant Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO)
|
|
On February 21 2024, the Congestion Relief Grant Program Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) announced the availability of up to $50 million per Fiscal Year (FY). This is the program’s first NOFO covering three years (FY 2022 through FY 2024), totaling $150 million. The program is established in Section 129(d) of Title 23. The NOFO is published in Grants.gov, https://grants.gov/search-results-detail/352531, or search using “693JJ324NF00009.” The application deadline is April 22, 2024.
The Congestion Relief Program will provide discretionary grant opportunities to States, metropolitan planning organizations, cities, and municipalities. The purpose of the program is to advance innovative, integrated, and multimodal solutions for congestion relief in the most heavily congested metropolitan areas of the United States, specifically for urbanized areas surpassing a population of 1 million people. The primary goal of the program is to reduce highway congestion and reduce the economic and environmental costs associated with that congestion. This would be achieved through several means, which include improving intermodal integration with highways; improving overall highway performance; reducing or shifting highway users to off-peak travel times or to non-highway travel modes during peak travel times; and pricing mechanisms. The minimum required amount for an award is $10 million with a minimum 20 percent non-Federal match.
An upcoming external webinar dedicated to providing details of the program and its NOFO is being scheduled. We will follow up with the date and time along with a registration link for the event. This information will be updated in the Grants.gov listing as well. Additionally, our office will coordinate an internal webinar tailored to the select Division Offices covering the localities that are eligible under this program.
If you have any questions on the Congestion Relief Program, please contact program manager, Frank Corrado, at frank.corrado@dot.gov, 689-262-0211.
