Noise Model-to-monitor Case Study
The Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) noise program includes an inventory of more than 250 miles of noise barriers around the state. Each noise barrier constructed must be analyzed using the FHWA Traffic Noise Model (TNM) software program to determine if the construction of the barrier is justified. This research study was initiated to identify opportunities to improve the accuracy and validity of ODOT's traffic noise analysis and TNM modeling specifications with specific attention made to the modeling of heavy trucks. Over 44 hours of traffic noise data were collected at noise-sensitive areas at a Type II noise wall project being constructed along Interstate 270 in southeast Columbus...
Review of TRAC Program Local Investment Factors
The Transportation Review Advisory Council (TRAC) program is the mechanism through which the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) provides funding for Major New Capacity and other critical infrastructure projects within the state. As part of the evaluation process for TRAC funding consideration, the value of local infrastructure (roadways, utilities, and building construction) around project sites is calculated using local infrastructure cost factors. The objective of this research task was to review construction cost data and generate updated values for the TRAC program's local investment cost factors. Data from local infrastructure projects in Ohio and national average construction costs from R.S. Means data were utilized in the update. New cost factors reflecting construction costs for each of the five TRAC project regions as of January 2020 are presented for use in future project applications. A framework for classifying building construction costs using NAICS codes is also presented. Feedback from TRAC program stakeholders, as well as a review of the practices used by other State DOTs, yielded some suggested policy revisions for future consideration.

Down Home Dairyland
Drawing on decades of research, folklorists Jim Leary and Richard March have distilled a definitive presentation of Upper Midwestern traditional and ethnic music, from Ojibwa drums to Norwegian fiddles, from polka to salsa, from gospel choirs to southeast Asian rock bands. The book Down Home Dairyland: A Listener’s Guide provides a wonderful overview of Wisconsin’s musical heritage through forty essays, fifty-seven photographs, plus a rich discography and bibliography. Both the cassette and the music CD sets provide samplings from the Down Home Dairyland series of forty half-hour radio programs on Wisconsin Public Radio. These audio collections include interviews with traditional musicians, sample sound recordings, and discussion of the patterns of musical styles in the region.
