Chapter 1 - Workshop Participants and the FHWA Team
| < Previous | Table of Content | Next > |
Participants who are involved in pavement marking issues were invited to attend the workshops and were selected in a manner designed to maximize geographical coverage and to ensure that State and local jurisdictions were represented in each workshop. The retroreflectivity team identified potential State government participants and worked with the President of the National Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) Association to identify potential county and city participants. There were approximately 15 participants in each workshop. The lists of participants at each workshop are shown in Appendix A. The breakdown of workshop attendee affiliations is shown in Table 1 below.
| Location | State | County | City | Attorney | Professional Association | Industry | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Denver | 7 | 2 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 14 |
| Pittsburgh | 9 | 3 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 1 | 15 |
| TOTAL | 16 | 5 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 2 | 29 |
The retroreflectivity team was made up of the following individuals:
- Greg Schertz – FHWA, Federal Lands Highway Division, FHWA Retroreflectivity Team Leader
- Matt Lupes – FHWA Office of Safety, Retroreflectivity Contact
- Paul Carlson – Texas Transportation Institute, Retroreflectivity Researcher
- Gene Hawkins – Texas A&M University and Texas Transportation Institute, professor and retroreflectivity researcher. Gene served as the facilitator for the Denver workshop.
- Kathy Falk – Kimley-Horn and Associates, MUTCD consultant. Kathy served as the note taker for the Denver workshop and the facilitator for the Pittsburgh workshop.
- Bruce Friedman – Kimley-Horn and Associates, MUTCD consultant. Bruce served as the note taker for the Pittsburgh workshop.
The same agenda (see Appendix B) was used for each workshop; however, the retroreflectivity team decided to use two different facilitators in order to foster different, independent ideas from each workshop.
