Laws And Regulations

During recent years, the United States has paid increasing attention to controlling and minimizing environmental pollution. One result of this attention is the development of new laws and regulations, enforced by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and by state and local agencies. These new environmental laws and regulations are considerably more stringent than those of past years and they directly impact how shipyards must conduct their operations. This paper discusses these laws and regulations at the national, state (including California, Virginia, and Connecticut), and local levels. With the environmental regulatory background in focus, the paper proceeds to explore the effects of the regulatory trend on one particular segment of the shipbuilding and ship repair industry: floating dry docks. Floating dry docks provide an illuminating example, because of the environmentally sensitive industrial activities carried out on board, such as grit blasting and painting with antifouling paints. The operational norms of floating dry dock pollution control are discussed, starting with present day commercial and Navy facilities, and culminating with the Navy's newest floating dry dock design, the AFDB 10.

Looking Back

California local agencies raise the revenue to support high-quality transportation services and infrastructure from a patchwork of federal, state, and local sources. To assist policymakers and transportation experts as they explore options for creating a more sustainable funding system, this report presents an overview of the taxes and fees that currently generate revenue ultimately dedicated to paying for transportation at the sub-state—or “local”—level. The discussion covers federal and state as well as local sources. The report also traces the evolving contribution from each level of government for expenditures on California’s local streets and roads and public transit, looking back two decades. The report concludes with a discussion of options for increasing local transportation revenue

To optimize available funds in preserving the national transportation infrastructure, the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) mandates that state and local agencies develop and implement various infrastructure management systems. One of these systems is a pavement management system (PMS). To comply with ISTEA, jurisdictions must implement a working PMS in order to continue to qualify for federal funds. Institutional issues that obstruct the implementation of PMS by local agencies are identified and analyzed. For effective implementation and continued use, PMS is viewed as both a new philosophy that must be incorporated into the overall organizational goals of an agency and a support tool for better decision making. Since pavement management is usually only one of several agency functions, the large expenditure of resources associated with PMS implementation is impractical for smaller agencies with limited budgets. This situation has lead to the abandonment of several PMS programs. Through a case study of the San Francisco Bay Area's Metropolitan Transportation Commission, strategies for the effective implementation and continued use of PMS are examined, as is the umbrella role of larger metropolitan planning organizations in successfully implementing PMS at local levels. Competing pavement budget requirements between local agencies are examined within the new context of ISTEA's comprehensive system. Finally, it is suggested that implementing PMS within the broader context of an overall infrastructure management apparatus is a strong incentive for optimizing the complete infrastructure system and achieving ISTEA's goal.

□ In summary, I have outlined the needs of older blind persons for adequate income, health care, rehabilitation services, housing, and other special services. I have briefly discussed existing federal laws designed to meet these needs and one proposal to meet the urgent need for rehabilitation services. Clearly, all of these programs need drastic improvement in many ways if adequate income and services are to be assured. And equally important, state and local agencies, which must inevitably be the providers of direct services, must forcefully advocate these services and become prepared to provide them.

Retroreflective pavement markers (RPMs) supplement or substitute for pavement markings and provide superior visibility during wet nights when the visibility of most pavement markings is significantly reduced. Many state and local agencies in the United States install and maintain RPMs even though they are not required to use them by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. A lack of visual performance criterion for in-service RPMs results in non-uniform installation and maintenance of RPMs from agency to agency. There is a need to better establish guidance on the visual performance of RPMs. This paper develops a visibility level (VL) model to assess the visibility of RPMs, based on drivers’ visual demands. After validating the VL model for RPMs, the impacts of retroreflectivity, spacing, number of RPMs, glare, and driving speed on the visibility of RPMs are explored using the VL model. The study results not only confirm the superior visual performance of RPMs over pavement markings but also suggest the RPM performance criteria including placement criteria and minimum luminance/retroreflectivity levels.
