Environmental Justice Training

Posted & filed under LHTAC News.

ITD and the EPA are providing an Environmental Justice training on November 2, 2016.

This is an easy way to provide “annual training” to your staff on Title VI Civil Rights, and Environmental Justice.

The training will be broadcast to ITD District Offices across the state from Boise.  The EPA will be available to answer any questions via video.

ITD will also have a limited number of WebEx logins, so if travelling to the district office is not an option (or if you have a large group), please let Russ Rivera know and he can get you the WebEx invite.

See flyer for more details.

Innovative Bridge Construction – GRS-IBS Workshop

Posted & filed under Every Day Counts Initiative, LHTAC News, T2 News.

LHTAC is hosting a demonstration workshop near Jerome, Idaho for Local Highway Jurisdictions.

The Local Highway Technical Assistance Council received funding to provide a demonstration workshop on Geosynthetic Reinforced Soil–Integrated Bridge System (GRS–IBS) bridge construction in southeast Idaho. The one-day workshop will include a morning of class instruction using FHWA experts and an afternoon of onsite observation of the construction. Participants can sign up for either the November 16th class or the November 17th class. The instruction will be the same on both. GRS-IBS is an innovation to help reduce bridge construction time and cost. GRS-IBS projects can be built in weeks instead of months, due to the ease of construction and the use of readily available materials and equipment. Reduced construction schedule translates into less exposure around work zones improving safety. Idaho has adopted GRS-IBS as a focus for the state. LHTAC will collect information from the workshop and site visit to compile “Best Management Practices for GRS-IBS Bridge Construction” material to distribute to locals in the future. (more…)
