TRB conducted a webinar on Tuesday, March 1, 2016 from 2:00PM to 3:30PM ET that featured a report from the
National Cooperative Highway Research Program (NCHRP). The webinar explored
NCHRP Synthesis 470: Maintenance Quality Assurance Field Inspection Practices, which summarizes practices used by state transportation agencies to support maintenance investments.
Capabilities of Maintenance Quality Assurance (MQA) programs have evolved as data collection and analysis technology has improved and transportation agencies have become more customer focused. This webinar focuses on how states are developing MQA programs, and the benefits that they’re receiving from these programs.
A certificate for 1.5 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) was provided to attendees who register and attend the webinar as an individual. Contact Reggie Gillum at
RGillum@nas.edu for instructions on receiving a copy of the recorded webinar.
Here are the slides from the presentation.
