Our facilitator, Wayne Reed, engaged the group during this morning's IBTTA workshop's open space conversation titled "What Gets You Up in the Morning?" Volunteers introduced 12 topics for in-depth discussion. Our CEO, Mae Whiteside Williams, currently a consultant construction manager at Illinois Tollway, developed and presented the topic "Maintenance of Traffic During Construction Operations" and led discussion points around driver education, minimizing incidents, how well MOT construction and detour plans are designed for implementation, distracted drivers, and emerging technologies currently in use around traffic safety.
