President’s Message – May 2023
Hello ASHE Members!
What an amazing year 2023 has been so far! We’ve had a great start to 2023 with a lot of fantastic events and are looking forward to new ones to come. Our section has as much momentum as ever!
Past Events
RTMC Technical Tour
Registrants were able to visit and learn more about the Regional Transportation Management Center in Sanford and how transportation agencies across Central Florida are working to make your trip more reliable! The visit included a tour and overview of the RTMC.
2023 Transportation Summit Sustainability and Resiliency: Coming to Clients & Projects Near You!
This year’s Transportation Summit was a smashing success and was completely sold out! We had an amazing guest speaker in Anthony Kane (CEO of the Institute of Sustainable Infrastructure) and great panelists. We hope that everyone who attended was able to grow their knowledge in sustainability and resiliency.
Engineers Week
ASHE CFL honored our members during Engineers Week that have made positive contributions to the Transportation Industry in Central Florida. Each day, 1-2 ASHE CFL members received a member highlight which was shared with all Central Florida members through our social media outlets.
