ABOUTFor more than 30 years, the ARTBA Transportation Development Foundation (TDF) has “promoted research, education and public awareness.” Today, the Foundation’s Board of Trustees and staff annually execute a comprehensive, multi-million dollar program of work that is aimed at educating the public and elected leaders about the many benefits of transportation improvements and the need to significantly boost those investments to meet future U.S. economic and mobility demands.

Created by top executives in leading industry firms, the Transportation Builder Institute offers customized academies exclusively for transportation design, construction and safety executives:

• ProjectManagement: Offers both substantive theory and practical application of principles of project management for transportation construction professionals. Topics covered: planning, scheduling, effective client relations, job-site team-work, safety and risk management, and ethics.

• Scheduling: Teaches managers how to use schedules to track all aspects of a transportation project—people, materials, key operational benchmarks and payment schedules. It also features “hands-on” experience with the industry’s most widely used scheduling software, Primavera Project Planner (P6®).

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT,EDUCATION & TRAINING

The ARTBA-TDF offers a variety of professional development, training and safety services for industry executives and many feature Professional Development Hours (PDHs). Among them:

TRANSPORTATION BUILDER INSTITUTE™ “I would like to express my gratitude for the excellent safety training class that ARTBA’s Omar Lopez presented to our company. We have been members of ARTBA for many years and our membership has been very good for us. With instructors like Omar, we will seek out more services in the future.”—Mike Alex, owner/vice president, Cook Paving

“The trainers we have had from ARTBA have been great to work with when conducting the OSHA 10-Hour, and Preventing Runovers and Backovers courses. The grants allow front line and supervisory staff to take advantage of these trainings that may not have been otherwise available.” —Paul Albritton, technical training coordinator, Iowa State University Institute for Transportation
