The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is hosting a series of live webinars - a.k.a. "Virtual Summits" - introducing certain Every Day Counts (EDC) initiatives and technologies on April 3 and 4, 2013. These Virtual Summits are free of charge and open to anyone with an interest in the topic. Space is limited however and participants must register in advance.
EDC Virtual Summits provide a platform for a discussion of issues, ideas, and topics that are of interest to state and local transportation agencies. The EDC model is built on the premise that through a common vision, partnerships, and leadership, the highway community can accelerate the adoption of critical practices; practices that in turn accelerate widespread and consistent deployment of innovative technologies and tools to improve the delivery of projects and performance of the system.To learn more about the EDC initiative, please refer to the following web site: http://www.fhwa.dot.gov/everydaycounts/
Five different EDC topics will be showcased in the April 3rd and 4th Virtual Summits. Interested parties are invited to attend any or all of them according to their level of interest in the topic.

Special Registration Instructions for Employees of the Virginia Department of Transportation
VDOT employees must register for U.Va. Transportation Training Academy events through the VDOT Virtual Campus. Registration fees and related expenses for all VDOT employees will be paid from the VDOT Learning Services Center budget. Registrants should contact their District Training Coordinator or the VDOT Learning Services Center (Central Office employees) for instructions on how to seek reimbursement for travel expenses.
Due to current travel restrictions, VDOT employees are strongly encouraged to attend U. Va. TTA events on a day trip basis. Overnight travel requires permission from your District Administrator or Chief -- and in some cases higher levels of authority. If you require overnight lodging to attend a U. Va. TTA event, consult with your supervisor, District Training Coordinator, or VDOT Learning Services Center on travel approval procedures.
