Innovation Exchange: Discussions targeted to Local Agencies, Tribes and Federal Land Management Agencies Programs

Thursday, April 23, 2020 1:00 PM -2:30 PM [EST]

When you have a local transportation project that requires you to coordinate with railroad officials, communication is essential. FHWA has developed several resources for your use, including templates and FAQs.

Some of your peers will be discussing the approaches that have worked for them and the challenges they faced. They will be discussing strategies and offering pointers on how to successfully complete your projects.
