Session Highlight - Monday Safety Pre-Session
The NLTAPA Safety Work Group has developed an excellent Safety Pre-Session for those able to join us on Monday. Here are some highlights.

Local agencies are key partners in adopting and implementing a TZD approach for addressing highway safety issues. Much of the TZD national strategy framework can be implemented at the local level, but it may be challenging to understand where to start. This workshop will provide tools and techniques for LTAP and TTAP staff that focus on partnering with their state DOTs, and other traffic safety stakeholders, to implement the TZD national strategy at a local level.

Our Speaker is Stephanie Malinoff, Director of the Minnesota LTAP Center.
