On October 27th the Transportation Development Association NC Region held a Round Table Meeting. Here are some photos showing Roland Hawk discussing issues with Federal Structures that need to be replaced but do not have sufficiency ratings low enough to qualify for Federal Funding and Kevin Lang, Marathon County Deputy Commissioner/Engineer discussing concerns with bridge structures under 20 feet that are not eligible for Federal Bridge Aid.

Dan Fedderly and Pierce County Highway Commissioner, Chad Johnson participated at the Transportation Development Association October Regional Transportation Roundtables. They can be seen in this picture discussing important challenges facing Wisconsin.  

WisDOT will be supporting the National Move Over Day on Saturday, October 15, 2022.  This day is an opportunity for us to flood social media with photos and stories that point to the importance of the MOSD law to protect those who protect our highways.

Participation is pretty simple – all through social media channels.

• Arrange for a photo with personnel. Consider having the station, a vehicle or other identifying backdrop included.
• Utilize an erasable white board to include a comment such as “so we can make it home” or “Protect us so we can protect you” or something more personalized like “mother of three – they need me too” or “when not in uniform I’m volunteering with kids at my local church.”  The goal is to help humanize the situation.
• Post with the hashtag #moveoverwi on Saturday, October 15.

Please send a copy of your social media photo/post to timeprogram@dot.wi.gov. See a few examples from last year.

Please find details on registration, vendor booths, sponsorship opportunities, and the silent auction at the calendar listing here: https://wiscohwy.org/event-4956855

This conference is for highway committee members, commissioners, engineers, and superintendents that want to improve their professional development and leadership skills.
