Build a Better Mousetrap National Winners Webinar



Thursday, September 15, 2022 | 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET

Build a Better Mousetrap is a national initiative by the Federal Highway Administration to recognize front line workers

who use innovative solutions in their transportation programs. For this webinar, we will hear from the winning local

agencies who developed innovations that solved problems in their maintenance and emergency management programs.

These innovations saved time, money and increased safety for their workers and their communities.

Jason Johnston from the Walsh County Highway Department in North Dakota

  • Bold Steps Award Winner for the Guardrail Maintainer, a tool to easily remove debris from around guardrails to keep the roads clear.

Isabel Olivieri from the Autonomous Municipality of Toa Baja, Puerto Rico

  • Smart Transformation Award Winner for the Public Survey Tool for Emergency Events, an electronic survey tool available via social media for residents to report flood damage during emergency events.
