ABOUT
For more than 30 years, the ARTBA
Transportation Development
Foundation (TDF) has “promoted
research, education and public
awareness.” Today, the Foundation’s
Board of Trustees and staff annually
execute a comprehensive, multi-million
dollar program of work that is aimed at
educating the public and elected leaders
about the many benefits of
transportation improvements and the
need to significantly boost those
investments to meet future U.S.
economic and mobility demands.

Created by top executives in leading industry firms, the
Transportation Builder Institute offers customized academies
exclusively for transportation design, construction and safety
executives:
• Project Management: Offers both substantive theory and
practical application of principles of project management for
transportation construction professionals. Topics covered:
planning, scheduling, effective client relations, job-site team-
work, safety and risk management, and ethics.
• Scheduling: Teaches managers how to use schedules to track all aspects of a
transportation project—people, materials, key operational benchmarks and
payment schedules. It also features “hands-on” experience with the industry’s
most widely used scheduling software, Primavera Project Planner (P6®).
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT,
EDUCATION & TRAINING
The ARTBA-TDF offers a variety of professional development, training and safety
services for industry executives and many feature Professional Development Hours
(PDHs). Among them:
TRANSPORTATION BUILDER INSTITUTE™
“I would like to express my gratitude for
the excellent safety training class that
ARTBA’s Omar Lopez presented to our
company. We have been members of
ARTBA for many years and our
membership has been very good for us.
With instructors like Omar, we will seek
out more services in the future.”
—Mike Alex, owner/vice president, Cook Paving
“The trainers we have had from ARTBA
have been great to work with when
conducting the OSHA 10-Hour, and
Preventing Runovers and Backovers
courses. The grants allow front line and
supervisory staff to take advantage of
these trainings that may not have been
otherwise available.”

• Certified Backing-Spotting: A new
course focused on this critical
hazard in the transportation
construction industry. Through this
program, participants will receive a
certificate and wallet card
documenting their completion.
• Roadway Safety+: A state-of-the-
art, interactive instructional
program containing training
modules covering 33 different topics

roadway construction safety training
program in the industry, and was
developed through 15 years of
collaboration between ARTBA and
its partners in labor, government
and industry.
• Preventing Runovers & Backovers:
Based on more than a decade of
government and industry research,
this course includes step-by-step
instructions on preventing worker
“struck-by” incidents through
creation of “Internal Traffic Control
Plans (ITCPs).” It focuses on blind
spot recognition, work zone access/
egress, and safe backing procedures.
• OSHA 10-Hour Training for the
Roadway Construction Industry:
The first and most comprehensive
program focused on highway
construction activities that are
responsible for the majority of work
zone fatalities and serious injuries.
The course provides an overview of
11 key construction work
zone-related safety and health topics
and is accredited by OSHA.
• “Best of the Best”: An interactive
session where winners of the
ARTBA Foundation’s “Contractor
Safety Awards” share successful
ideas, best practices and
management techniques that
enabled them to achieve remarkable
safety and productivity records.

VIRTUAL CONFERENCE FOR TRANSPORTATION
OFFICIALS
Established in 2012, the Local Transportation Management
& Safety Virtual Conference (LōTransTM

platform to deliver to federal, state, and local transportation
officials and industry executives free educational sessions.
DR. J. DON BROCK TRANSOVATION WORKSHOP™
Named after the pioneering founder of Astec Industries, a
worldwide company based in Tennessee, TransOvationTM
annually brings together the brightest minds for a two-and-
a-half day interactive workshop that helps transportation
construction executives foster and build innovative thinking
into their professional skill set.
INDUSTRY LEADER DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Established in 1995 as the “Young Executive Development
Program” (YEDP) and rebranded in late 2015 as the Industry
Leader Development Program (ILDP) as recommended by a
task force of the association’s next generation of leaders, this
annual program in Washington, D.C. provides a solid
understanding of 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. ILDP participants also
