David Buck, West Lafayette
For those of you that do not know, IACE has a seat on the LTAP Executive Board. LTAP serves local communities by:
- Increasing transportation expertise at the state and local levels
- Providing a channel for materials prepared at the national level for local use
- Promoting the effective use of research findings and innovations for improving transportation
- Meeting the needs of transportation personnel on local areas with tailored resource materials
The LTAP executive board meets quarterly. David Buck, Vice President, is IACE's representative.
The highlight from today's meeting was a discussion on bulk salt purchasing and what role LTAP could play to help coordinate a purchasing policy that might involve the state. This would hopefully allow better prices and adequate quantities. Some other items covered were changing the by-laws to allow proxy votes and purchasing a new LTAP display booth. The by-laws were not changed because the majority of members felt it was important to have the actual individuals attend the meetings and the board agreed to allow the purchase of a new display for $2500. Reports were also given on the recent National Conf. for LTAP and the upcoming newsletter.
