They are also helping shape the debate in Congress as it considers reauthorizing the five-year federal transportation law, which expires in September 2026.
In this webinar, leaders from the three organizations will share their concerns, strategies, and hopes regarding federal transportation policies.

Managing Roadway Drainage Systems (Virtual)
2025-10-09 09:00 - 11:30
Drainage is one of the key asset classifications that transportation system owners are expected to maintain. The condition of drainage features and structures may deteriorate over time due to erosion and sediment buildup. Drainage maintenance is critical for extending the life of pavements, as drainage assets control water flow along maintainable pathways. Routine inspection of drainage systems identifies needed maintenance and lessens the potential for flooding. This includes inspections of shoulder, ditches, and pipes and culverts.
This 2.5-hour virtual training teaches you to manage drainage systems effectively and efficiently by explaining:

What types of drainage assets need to be inspected.
What information is collected during an inspection.
How to determine if the condition requires a critical, major, or routine maintenance response.
What treatments are appropriate, given the type of drainage asset and its current condition.

The training follows the guidelines and structure of the Federal Highway Administration’s Maintenance of Drainage Features for Safety.

Transportation is deeply connected to health, housing, food access, education, economic opportunity, and more. Yet many of our communities are designed in ways that make it difficult for people who can’t drive to get where they need to go.
Approximately 30% of the U.S. population cannot drive because of age, disability, income, or other barriers. Everyone is a nondriver for at least part of their lives, and most people will outlive their ability to drive. What does that mean for our ability to age in place, access opportunities and care, stay connected, and move safely across our communities throughout our lives?
Join Community Design and Nondrivers – Connecting All of Us to explore opportunities to make our transportation systems work for all. Hear real-world experiences from people navigating current challenges, and learn how issues such as time spent traveling, safety, and access impact daily life.. Most importantly, it will look at what’s possible and ask the fundamental question: “What kind of community do we want to live in?”
