3. 2014 ARTBA Annual Report 3
T
he year 2014 was another shining example
of how ARTBA’s Transportation
Development Foundation bolsters the
association’s mission to build and protect the
transportation construction market at the federal
and state levels.
Led by a 12-member Board of Trustees
comprised of senior industry executives, the
TDF, as ARTBA’s “sister organization,” proudly
reports the following key achievements of its
comprehensive program of work:
• At the fourth annual “Dr. J. Don Brock
TransOvation™ Workshop” in Seattle,
ARTBA partnered with an unusual ally—
Microsoft—to explore the intersection of big
data and transportation infrastructure. The
event, which took place at the company’s
headquarters near Seattle, featured teams
working together to develop strategic
business plans for future U.S. mobility
needs. Such “outside the box” ideas will be
used to advance the industry’s interests with
policymakers.
• On the safety front, the Foundation—
through a variety of contracts with the
federal government and industry allies—
provided safety training to more than
6,000 professionals. It also helped lead a
successful workshop of industry allies at
CONEXPO that focused on developing best
practices to prevent worker fatalities within
road construction zones.
• The Young Executive Development
Program (YEDP), now in its 19th year,
hosted its largest class ever. During the
first week of June, more than 55 YEDP
fellows developed a solid understanding of
industry economics, how the highway and
transit program works, and how actions by
the federal government impact the industry.
With more than 550 graduates, the YEDP is
building the ranks of leaders who will shape
the industry’s future.
Chairman’s Message
• Industry firms, foundations, labor unions,
and AASHTO generously donated nearly
$70,000 to support the “Lanford Family
Highway Worker Memorial Scholarship Pro-
gram.” As a result, the Foundation is making
a positive difference in the lives of many
by providing major financial assistance to
support the post-high school education of
children of highway workers who were killed
or permanently disabled on the job.
• Under the ARTBA Foundation’s manage-
ment and in partnership with the Federal
Highway Administration, the Local Techni-
cal Assistance Program (LTAP) and Tribal
Technical Assistance Program (TTAP)
rolled out a new and integrated LTAP/
TTAP logo and brand. Sixty-five LTAP
and TTAP Centers provided a variety of
materials, training, technology updates and
technical assistance to help local counties,
parishes, cities and towns improve their
roads and bridges.
• Through six awards programs, the
Foundation provided a national platform to
honor and share with the public and
policymakers the stories of excellence in
community relations, work zone safety,
environmental protection, and innovation
by nearly 50 industry firms, public
agencies and organizations. These
programs collectively show the value of
transportation investment from a variety
of angles.
As it celebrates its 30th
Anniversary in 2015,
the ARTBA-TDF is preparing to unveil new
initiatives that will help strengthen ARTBA for
the next 30 years. Please take a few minutes to
read through this annual report. And special
thanks to you all for continuing to support the
Foundation’s valuable work on behalf of the
transportation construction industry!

public and private sectors who have made extraordinary contributions to U.S. transportation
development and demonstrated exceptional leadership over their lifetime.
Two people were inducted into the Transportation Design & Construction Industry Leaders
category, which recognizes men, women and families who have made significant
contributions—beyond just having successful businesses or careers—that have notably
helped advance the interests and image of the transportation design, construction and safety
industry. They included:
Doug Pitcock, founder, chief executive officer, and chairman of Williams Brothers
Construction in Houston, Texas; and
Horatio Earle, a “good roads” pioneer and former Michigan highway commissioner in the
early 20th century, and the founder of the American Road Builders Association in 1902.

“It was a great success and the training provided by your organization
will have a long lasting impact on the live of the workers...The training
conducted was instrumental in ensuring the safe passage for
motorists and safe worksites for workers.”
—September 18 letter from Ken Nishiyama Atha, OSHA Regional Administrator in
San Francisco, regarding the ARTBA Foundation’s safety training.
Local & Tribal Technical
Assistance Program
Developed several new online training courses, including:
• Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices: Work Zone Training Suite
• Sight Distances for Temporary Traffic Control
• Internal Traffic Control Planning
Completion of a series of six safety training videos, highlighting incidents that
led to worker deaths, and providing recommendations for avoiding similar
hazards.
Redesign of the successful training program on “Preventing Runovers and
Backovers in Roadway Work Zones” to feature professionally-designed
curriculum, more interactive presentations and a revamped student workbook.
LTAP/TTAP Clearinghouse
The Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) and Tribal Technical
Assistance Program (TTAP), is composed of a network of 58 Centers—one in
every state, Puerto Rico and seven regional Centers serving tribal governments.
The Centers enable local counties, parishes, townships, cities and towns to
improve their roads and bridges by supplying them with a variety of training programs, new and existing technology
updates, personalized technical assistance and newsletters.
Under the ARTBA Foundation’s management, the Clearinghouse worked with the Federal Highway Administration
to successfully roll out a completely new and integrated LTAP/TTAP logo and brand. This included redesigned
marketing materials, a modernized exhibit booth, and a revamped LTAP website.

7. 2014 ARTBA Annual Report 7
More than 55 “young guns” in the
transportation design and construction
industry took part in June 9-12 Young
Executive Development Program (YEDP).
Now in its 19th
year and held in the Nation’s
Capital, the YEDP provides rising leaders
within the transportation construction and
development sector with a solid under-
standing of the industry’s economics… how
transportation work in the U.S. is funded
and financed… how actions by the federal
government impact the industry… and how
they—and their company or agency—can
become politically engaged to help shape
transportation policy. During the event,
YEDP fellows went to Capitol Hill to press
their members of Congress to fix the
Highway Trust Fund and pass a long-term
surface transportation bill.
“I thought this was a great class!
Very interesting, informative, fun and the
connections are invaluable.”
—Gary Brown, Granite Construction Company,
2014 YEDP fellow
“Thank you for a great program as it cer-
tainly exceeded my expectations. I general-
ly walk away from industry events not 100
percent convinced it was the best use of my
time; however, this was not the case. The
networking alone was worth the trip.”
—Jacob K. Stone, Wright Brothers Construction,
2014 YEDP fellow
