16. Abstract
Weather has a significant impact on the operations of the
nation's roadway system year-round. To help improve weather
impacts on our roadways the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) Road Weather Management Program (RWMP) and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA's)
National Weather Service (NWS) have been working together
to document the state-of-the-practice and working
relationships between State Departments of Transportation
(DOTs) and the weather enterprise. The Pathfinder project
was initiated in to document current State DOT interactions
and working relationships with the weather enterprise (both
NWS and private sector). The team documented best practices
across the agencies to disseminate consistent messages
about the weather and its impact on the roads. This
document serves as a guidance document for improving the
collaboration between State DOTs and the weather
enterprise.
