DESCRIPTION:Date: November 18\, 2026 \nTime: 8:30 – 11:00am PT \nCourse Summary: \nOnce you have identified that projects are appropriate for pavement preservation\, the next step is to identify appropriate treatments and select the best option. \nThis 2.5-hour virtual training introduces a process for selecting appropriate preservation treatments\, as illustrated by the flow chart. During the training\, participantswill learn how to complete each step of the process. Participants will also complete exercises to apply the process using real project information. \nParticipants are encouraged to bring information about preservation treatments used by your agency to share in class. This may include treatment costs\, treatment results\, or materials issues. Your experiences can improve the treatment selection process for everyone! \nLearning Objectives: \n\n\nUse pavement condition and other information to identify appropriate preservation treatment options.\nIdentify decision-making factors to select the best treatment options.\n\n\nIntended Audience: \nThis class is appropriate for anyone making pavement preservation project or treatment selection decisions. \nPrerequisites: \nPrior to class\, every participant must complete the following 5-minute online training\, Pavement Preservation Treatment Selection. \nCompletion of Selecting Pavement Preservation Projects is recommended\, but not required\, prior to taking this training. Review Pavement Preservation: Project Selection to master the key principles as needed.
