Transportation Visualization in the News
From demolition debris to coal combustion products, recyclable materials can be reused for a variety of transportation construction applications. But a lack of knowledge—of how to recycle these materials and of where they are located —so far has stymied the widespread use of recycled materials in transportation projects. University of Alabama made this GIS-based tool that offers the location and availability of recycled material sources.

FHWA Announces Proposed Updates to MUTCD [Today! 4/1/2021]
The Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) sets the minimum national standard for the design, application, and placement of traffic control devices used on streets, highways, and bicycle facilities open to public travel. The purpose of the MUTCD is to provide uniformity of these devices to improve safety and efficiency of travel on the surface transportation system. This Webinar will highlight many of the proposed changes to the MUTCD specifically related to urban centers and urbanized communities, as well as discuss how interested parties can provide input.

Popular Programming Languages on the CRAN Network
Sourcing data from the TIOBE index (which measures the popularity of programming languages) this visualization shows which CRAN packages were created using which languages. R comes top, followed by C and C++. Less popular languages are represented by smaller circles. The size of each circle is proportional to the number of lines of code used to produce the packages. If you want to play around with this chart, its creator Dr Torsten Sprenger has shared the data and code on his GitHub profile…go wild!
