The document describes a computer-aided dispatch (CAD) system that includes call receiving, incident registration, dispatching, and vehicle tracking features. The CAD system integrates call receiving, dispatch, geographic information system (GIS), and automatic vehicle locator (AVL) components to allow call takers to view caller locations on maps, dispatchers to identify nearest responders and dispatch teams to incidents, and track responder vehicles in the field. The system aims to support efficient and coordinated emergency response.

The document provides an overview of the Tulia CAES Bulk Electric Storage Project in Swisher County, Texas. It discusses that the project will use proven Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES) technology to store electricity from the grid or renewable sources by compressing air and storing it underground. The stored air will later be used to power turbines and generate electricity when demand and prices are higher. The project is well-suited for the location due to favorable geology, proximity to wind resources, and ability to connect to the electric grid. It outlines the development progress achieved to date and remaining milestones, including drilling a test core in 2013 to further refine the underground storage cavern design.

The letter supports approval of the Keystone XL pipeline, arguing that it will provide economic benefits through jobs and tax revenue and improve energy security by increasing oil supplies from Canada and North Dakota. It notes that studies found the pipeline will have limited environmental impacts. Signatories include many local government and business leaders who believe the pipeline will help their regions.
Over 200 local elected officials along the proposed route of the Keystone XL pipeline signed a letter urging the U.S. State Department to complete its review and approve construction of the pipeline. The officials represent communities that would be impacted by construction. They believe the State Department and Nebraska reviews found no significant environmental concerns. They also say TransCanada will meet or exceed regulatory standards. Approving the pipeline, they argue, would strengthen national security and energy security while creating jobs and economic benefits.
Ports-to-Plains: The Importance of a Statewide Transportation to Colorado's E...Ports-To-Plains Blog
A statewide transportation system is critical to Colorado's economy. Transportation and logistics employed over 188,000 people in Colorado in 2012. 76.8% of lane miles in Colorado are rural. An expanding statewide transportation system is needed to transport goods to stores, export manufactured goods, move energy components, transport agriculture, and bring tourists. Maintaining and expanding Colorado's transportation infrastructure is important for the state's economic growth and security.
The Ports-to-Plains Alliance is a non-profit advocacy group representing a 9-state, 2,300+ mile transportation corridor between Texas and Canada. It seeks to upgrade and modernize existing 2-lane highways that are inadequate for current and future needs. Improving the transportation network would boost safety, efficiency, energy development, and economic growth in America's agricultural and energy heartland. However, long-term funding is needed to address the Highway Trust Fund shortfall and preserve the national surface transportation system.
This executive summary provides an overview of the draft supplemental environmental impact statement for the proposed Keystone XL pipeline project. It describes the project, alternatives considered, key environmental analyses conducted, and next steps. The proposed pipeline would transport up to 830,000 barrels per day of crude oil from Alberta, Canada and the Bakken shale region to the Gulf Coast. The document analyzes potential impacts to soil, water, threatened species, environmental justice, greenhouse gas emissions, and more. It also evaluates a no action alternative along with alternative pipeline routes and means of transport. The executive summary concludes by outlining the contents of the supplemental EIS and next steps in the review process.
Dear Governor Heineman:
Thank you for approving the new route for the Keystone XL Pipeline. The project will allow America to gain independence from Middle East and Venezuelan oil by increasing supplies from our loyal, stable and secure ally in Canada. It will also be a major economic development booster for our country and region, not only in the construction of the pipeline, but in further development of Alberta’s oil resources. For every two Canadian jobs created by the oil sands, a third is created in the US. Alberta oil sands development is projected to generate more than $500 billion in US economic impact over the next 25 years.
The letter expresses strong support for approval of the Keystone XL Pipeline project. It summarizes the findings of the draft Nebraska report that were agreed with, including that the revised route avoids environmentally sensitive areas, incorporates numerous protections for water resources, and provides economic benefits to Nebraska and the US through jobs, tax revenue, and increased energy security by reducing reliance on foreign oil. The letter is signed by over 50 mayors, county commissioners, and economic development organization representatives across 10 states along the proposed pipeline route.
Jack Schenendorf, Ports-to-Plains Alliance Transportation Consultant, in Washington will address the following topics:
The 2012 elections, the politics of 113th Congress, and the new leaders handling transportation.
Fiscal cliff: how bad is it and what is likely to happen?
Transportation's fiscal cliff: what are we going to do about it?
MAP-21 implementation and reauthorization in 113th Congress.
