IDOT WANTS PUBLIC TO REPORT SLACKING WORKERS (6/3/03)

CHICAGO - State transportation employees who "slack off" on the job are the target of a hot line publicized Monday.

The Illinois Department of Transportation plans to affix bumper stickers or signs to all of its vehicles that will ask, similar to messages on private delivery trucks, "How am I driving?" and remind the public about a toll-free agency number in Springfield: (800) 452-4368.

The orange-and-blue bumper stickers may seem geared toward road safety, but they actually were prompted by recent media reports in the Chicago area of IDOT drivers sleeping or goofing off during working hours.

Across Illinois, IDOT has about 2,800 cars, pickups and vans and an additional 2,200 heavy trucks used for state highway maintenance or emergencies.

IDOT LAUNCHES NEW WEB SITE FOR ONE-STOP TRAVEL INFORMATION 

The Illinois Department of Transportation has launched a new web site aimed at providing one-stop travel information to the public. The new site, www.illinoisroads.info, will be a source for road construction information, winter road conditions, traveler safety information, maps, trucking permits, and other travel information.

New Mississippi River Bridge - Likely cost of new bridge: $1 billion   First $300 million is now committed   By Will Buss

VENICE --Planners now have access to almost a third of the funding needed to build the first bridge across the Mississippi River in almost 40 years.
St. Louis-based HNTB Architects Engineers Planners on Tuesday displayed a drawing and models for the new $1 billion eight-lane Mississippi River Bridge. Project manager Keith Hinkebein said $300 million has already been earmarked for the state and federally-funded project, which was mainly designed to help alleviate congested traffic on other bridges.  ``You're still not going to satisfy the traffic congestion in this area without a new bridge,'' Hinkebein said. ``We want to take traffic off the Poplar (Street Bridge) and put it on the new one.''

Hinkebein said the project has been discussed for the past 10 years and could be ready for traffic as soon as 2011, but no starting date has been set for construction. He said about 80 percent of the funding will come from the federal government and the remaining 20 percent from the state.

The 3,150-foot-long, 222-foot-wide bridge will connect the metro-east to St. Louis north of the Martin Luther King Bridge and well to the south of the Interstate 270 bridge. The bridge is only one of seven parts to the project. Major roadways leading to the bridge and to I-70 will be relocated. The other six projects are:
* A 5.7-mile stretch of new highway will carry Illinois 3 from Broadway Avenue in Venice south to Monsanto Avenue in Sauget.
* A new interchange will be established between I-55 and I-64 in East St. Louis and continue over the Poplar Street Bridge.
* A four-lane road will link I-64 to the new Mississippi River Bridge.
* I-70 will be relocated and connected to the new bridge.
* Approaches to the Poplar Street Bridge will be rebuilt in Missouri.
* A major interchange for I-70 will be built in Missouri to help link it up to I-44 traffic.

Lifelong Granite City resident Jim Claxton said he looks forward to a new bridge to St. Louis. The 67-year-old said the metro-east area has needed a new bridge for a long time.   ``I think this is great and it's long overdue,'' Claxton said. ``I think the Poplar (Street Bridge) has been overloaded since day one, and nobody expected the traffic.''

6/2002-IDOT to phase out emergency helicopters  By JEFF DRUCHNIAK  STATE CAPITOL BUREAU

The Illinois Department of Transportation has finalized a schedule to phase out state helicopters used for emergency medical transport to hospitals in Springfield.   Transportation Secretary Kirk Brown said Tuesday that Gov. George Ryan's new budget forced the hastened plan. However, Brown said, IDOT's preparations to stop using the helicopters were long-standing.   He said private helicopter services will perform the service.

Brown was testifying Tuesday during Illinois House budget hearings. He said newly available funds had allowed IDOT to operate the helicopters past the initial December 2001 deadline. IDOT uses helicopters in Springfield, Peoria and Carbondale to transport trauma victims from rural areas to city hospitals.

Service to Springfield and Peoria hospitals will end in June, Brown said, but Carbondale is budgeted to use its state helicopter through the end of the year.
After that, the state will retain three helicopters, one on a leased basis, from its original fleet of seven. They will be used only for natural-disaster response, homeland security or police emergencies.  "The concern we had all along is these helicopters are old. They're going to be down for maintenance a lot," Brown said.  As a result, only two helicopters will remain active at a time, he said. Brown added, "That way, we can have a third as a standby backup."

Two private firms, ARCH Air Medical Services of Springfield and Air Evac Lifeteam of West Plains, Mo., have volunteered to expand their businesses to cover the emergency needs of the region, Brown said. The companies already serve hospitals in southern Illinois and surrounding states.   Both firms' emergency flights frequently are covered by health insurance, company spokesmen said. The state currently collects no payment for its helicopter flights and operates the program for about $2.5 million a year.   Life Flight, a similar business, already operates helicopters from a base in Peoria. ARCH Air and Air Evac Lifeteam said in letters to IDOT that they provide service at no cost to hospitals.
2/3/01 - IDOT is seeking $12 million to buy new helicopters for medical transport.
11/00 - Will spend $3.3 million on a used 1991 helicopter.  Will be the 2nd for IDOT.  It will seat as many a 6 passengers, along with 2 pilots. 
12/13/00 - IDOT has began testing a new remote-controlled stop/slow sign to help reduce the chance of danger to road construction workers.  It comes with a 25ft cable that allows the operator to stand clear of the roadway.  The sign is also topped by a strobe light and has reflective tape.  The "J-4 Flagger's Workstation" was developed by Richard Heinz of Rushville, IL after nearly being hit in a construction zone.

EZ PASS
As you slowly pass through the toll plaza, (Fig. 1) your E-ZPass tag sends out an inaudible radio signal. A computer antenna in the toll lane picks up the signal and, in an instant, the system verifies the tag's information. E-ZPass then calculates the appropriate toll and deducts it from your prepaid account. As you pass through the lane, you receive a message on the customer feedback sign.

(Fig. 1)
E-ZPass reads your tag.     
An overhead device detects the height of the vehicle.     
A gate regulates speed.     
A violation enforcement system identifies toll evaders.     
A patron feedback display provides customers with transaction information. 

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EZ Pass

A more foolish ( and exploitable ) system I have never heard.  How it works: The EZ Pass device is basically a microwave resonance repeater. when a signal of the right frequency is applied to it i.e. transmitted at close range the device resonates a response signal that due to it's inherent design contains the unique code it was manufactured to. To block this simply wrap the device in several layers of tinfoil, this prevents the original signal from getting to the device. As far as using credit cards with such a device, DON'T.  The receiver that reads the signal from the device has NO way of telling if the signal is coming from an EZPass device or a SW transmitter.  If someone where to use a spectrum analyzer with a capture function to read the signal from the device they could very easily repeat it from a SW transmitter.  A hand held transmitter could be used to 'activate ' your EZPass at any time or place and the resulting 'reply' captured and repeated as much as desired.
