Little did we know 14 months ago our day-to-day lives were about to be t urned upside down as we learned to struggle personally and professionally w ith the impact of COVID-19. Just as your businesses have tried to charter around these unprecedented times, so has Iowa and the nation’s transportati on departments.
ACEC Iowa has for years hosted a joint conference of the Iowa Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administrati on. Of course, we had to cancel the event scheduled in the fall of 2020, b ut our hopes our to bring back the face-to-face event in the fall of 2021.
But many of our members want to know now what to an ticipate in the transportation sector.
We have put together a virtua l conference with speakers from the Iowa DOT and the FHWA to share with our members what we may expect in the coming months.
