The Association of State Highway Transportation Officials' Centennial Year Spring Meeting is just a couple of weeks away (May 28 – 30) and will be held in Louisville, Kentucky.

This meeting is expected to be one of the most important gatherings of state departments of transportation this year with discussion related to surface transportation reauthorization and the potential insolvency of the Highway Trust Fund during the busy construction season.

In addition to updates from Washington, D.C., the meeting offers state transportation executives the opportunity to network and share the latest in industry policies and innovations, as well as learn about progress implementing the current surface transportation authorization, MAP-21. Hosted by the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, this year's meeting will also include a student engineering competition and additional committee meetings on rail, freight, and performance measures.
