Congress has approved and the President has signed MAP-21, a two-year, $105 billion, long-term highway reauthorization; the first such legislation enacted since 2005. MAP-21 will be a major focus of the 2012 AASHTO Annual Meeting, Nov. 15-19, in Pittsburgh. Several AASHTO committees – including the executive committee and the Board of Directors – will come together to discuss how MAP-21 will affect transportation programs and funding.
With the theme “Where Rivers Converge to Forge Leaders,” several meeting sessions, including the Sunday morning plenary session, will look at recruiting younger employees and developing them into transportation leaders.
More information on specific speakers, committee meetings and break-out sessions will be available this summer.
