CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

For more than 25 years, the ARTBA Transportation Development Foundation (ARTBA-TDF) has endeavored to develop initiatives that promote “research, education and public awareness” about the many positive economic and quality-of-life benefits of U.S. transportation development.

The year 2012 was no different! The Foundation executed a comprehensive program of work to help support ARTBA’s overall mission of growing the transportation construction market.

In September, we hosted the largest net fundraiser in ARTBA-TDF’s history with a special gala dinner in Memphis to honor the career achievements of Astec Industries’ Founder & Chairman Dr. Don Brock. The net proceeds are being used to expand the size and scope of TransOvation™, our annual, two-and-a-half day interactive workshop that helps transportation construction executives foster and build innovative thinking into their professional skill set.

The National Work Zone Safety Information Clearinghouse hosted its first-ever “virtual conference” on best practices in work zone safety for nearly 500 federal, state and lo-cal transportation officials from across the United States and the world. This forum pro-vided professional development, exhibits and networking opportunities for cash-strapped public agency leaders at their desktop or laptop computer, and at no cost.

Leo VecellioChairman & CEO

The Vecellio Group

ARTBA and its industry allies provided safety training to more than 4,000 industry professionals through a variety of federal contracts.

New offerings included the “Preventing Runovers and Backovers” training course, production of a flagger safety training video, and the rollout of a digital and searchable “Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices” (MUTCD), available for the first time on mobile devices.

Finally, the Foundation continued to make a difference to the children of fallen highway workers. More than $40,000 was raised for the “Lanford Family Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship Program,” which provides post-high school financial assistance.

Please take a few minutes to read through the pages of this annual report. These impressive results could not have been achieved without your continued personal leadership and support!
