TAC is seeking funding partners for six technical projects to be conducted through its pooled-fund model.
We are pleased to announce the addition of two new projects to the list: Using Recycled Asphalt Pavements in Asphalt Mixtures, and Design and Operation of Lower-Speed Collector and Arterial Roads. Click on any project title below for details.
Please contact TAC if your agency would like to contribute to a project and join its steering committee. Projects that do not find adequate funding within 12 months may be withdrawn or extended by the responsible council.

Signalized Turning Movements in the Presence of Cycling Facilities This project will investigate innovative permissive turn signal applications, such as the use of flashing yellow arrows on one-way arterial streets where left-turning vehicles cross two-way separated cycling facilities.

Assessing and Mitigating Transportation Noise and Vibration This project will identify current Canadian practices for noise and vibration assessment and mitigation, review costing tools, decision-making criteria, performance criteria and mitigation approaches, and suggest best practices. Environment & Climate Change Council |
34% funded FUNDING WINDOW EXTENDED |

Maintaining and Repairing Small Culverts This project will develop a technical guide explaining maintenance and repair interventions for small culverts (i.e. those with a diameter smaller than about 3 m), which are less well documented than larger culverts. The guide will address all culvert materials but will focus on steel, concrete and HDPE as they are most common; it may also highlight technical differences among provinces and municipalities.

Cross Section Elements: Research and Synthesis of Practice This project will be the first phase in developing a new Chapter 4, Cross Section Elements, of TAC’s Geometric Design Guide for Canadian Roads. That chapter addresses design procedures and domains related to lane widths, special purpose lanes, shoulders, medians, outer separations and boulevards, curb and gutter and drainage, and presents typical cross sections as well as discussing considerations related to bridges, utility placement, snow storage and future widenings. Safety, Design & Operations Council |
26% funded 6 MONTHS REMAINING |

Using Recycled Asphalt Pavements in Asphalt Mixtures This project will develop a practice-ready guideline on the use of RAP in asphalt mixtures that can be applied immediately by Canadian transportation agencies. The guideline will be based on effective agency practices and input from industry leaders, and will address material management, mixture design, plant production, and laydown of asphalt mixes produced with RAP to ensure proper performance.

Design and Operation of Lower-Speed Collector and Arterial Roads This project will summarize design and operation practices to support low-to-medium operating speeds on for urban arterial and collector roadways, and document relevant case studies. It will also explore the relationship between vehicle speeds and safety in urban areas, and assess the use of a single target speed for arterial and collector roads.
