The Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) would like to extend an open invitation to our second annual Data Summit.  This event will be held at the Nampa Civic Center Jan. 31-Feb. 1, 2023 -- “Gaining Value From Our Data”.

The two-day event will include intense discussion on the challenges of data collection/management and how we ultimately gain value from ITD's data.  Our chairperson, Margaret Pridmore states that “Data has become one of the most important assets for our organization and it is one of the most significant investments the department makes each year.”

To understand the potential strategic uses of and value of our data, we need to assess its origins, uses, and outcomes, the driving force behind the summit this year as well as last year’s inaugural event. The conference is intended to open dialogue within the agency and its users to determine data value. Attendees are encouraged to share successes and failures; discuss how data can be used/shared with others; and consider innovative ideas. There will be plenty of time for networking as well.

This is a FREE EVENT (presented in-person and virtually) open to all ITD staff, partners, consultants, or anyone who may be interested in how ITD collects and uses data.  Please check-out the website to find out what topics will be presented as well as how to register. Please feel free to share this link with anyone whom you think would benefit from attending.

Get involved in Idaho's legislative process!

Description

While the construction of high quality, long-lasting asphalt pavements begins with their design, the details of good construction workmanship cannot be over emphasized. Industry experts Tim Murphy, P.E., Murphy Pavement Technology, and Dave Johnson, P.E., Asphalt Institute Senior Regional Engineer, bring their combined 60+ years of experience in this arena with a one-day Idaho Asphalt Workmanship Training. Instruction will begin at 8:00 and end at 4:30. Morning, afternoon, and lunch breaks will occur. Eight Professional Development Hours are offered to attendees

Tim and Dave have designed this class to emphasize Idaho specifications for the construction of asphalt pavements.

In this workshop, you will learn the basics of each of the important steps in the construction process and how to properly balance the paving operation. These steps include how the asphalt mixture is produced and hauled to the project, best practices for preparing the underlying layers for paving, placement/laydown best practices, and the compaction process for asphalt mixtures with an emphasis on the longitudinal joint. Tim and Dave will also discuss the importance of the quality assurance process during each of the critical phases of construction to make sure quality is achieved. The specific agenda for the course is as follows:
