16. Abstract

The Federal Highway Administration's Road Weather Management Program (RWMP) assesses its progress toward meeting programmatic objectives through established performance measures. Assessments have been completed and documented in 2009, 2012, and 2015, and this update is the next iteration of this periodic review. While previous updates reported each performance measure individually, this report used an alternative approach to present the results to convey a general and more concise evaluation of the RWMP's progress and success by mapping the performance measures to at least one of the following categories: (1) road weather management impacts, (2) application of road weather management tools and technologies, (3) road weather management capacity building, and (4) partnerships and stakeholder collaboration. Overall, the 2017 report presents the latest results of the RWMP's performance measures, highlights significant changes or improvements from the last update, and lists recommendations on future focus areas for the RWMP. The report also serves as a resource and outreach product to further advance the importance and widespread implementation of road weather technologies.
