Keynote Speaker Lou BarlettaU.S. Representative, Pennsylvania 11th Congressional District

Representative Barletta was sworn in on January 5, 2011. He immediately started serving on the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee.

Born and raised in Hazleton, u.S. Rep. Lou Barletta’s trajectory in public office began with the curve ball. The year: 1978. Barletta, then a Bloomsburg university senior, walked onto Cincinnati Reds tryouts, hopeful of a future as an outfielder in the major leagues. A major handicap got in the way. “I couldn’t hit a curve ball,” he said. “They found out.” Barletta returned home to Hazleton to work in the family construction business. He and his wife Mary Grace started a business together. For $29.95, the Barlettas formed a line-painting business. Through hard work and perseverance, they grew that business into the largest of its kind in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania within five years. That business grew into the sixth largest road-painting business in the nation, and Barletta entered politics.

in this event. Local area media (radio, television, newspapers and freelance writers) have been invited, along with industry publications such as Roads and Bridges and Better Roads magazine.


Data Driven—How the New Highway Basemap Impacts Infrastructure Safety SpendingNew data imaging technologies and analysis are revealing road factors that contribute to fatal crashes. Learn how MAP-21’s new data collection provisions will reduce potential tort liability and improve the impact of roadway safety funds through justifying systemic safety improvements (high-friction surfacing, pavement markings, signs, guardrails).

How To Influence the Decision Makers at all Levels of GovernmentDuring this power talk, you will discuss effective ways to influence decision makers at the federal, state and local levels. Discuss with your peers what works, doesn’t work and how to make an impact.

ATSSA Quality Control Guidelines for Temporary Traffic Control Devices Updated for 2013 CEu .15These guidelines have been developed in an effort to offset the deterioration in appearance of TTC work zone devices. This handbook provides assistance to evaluate the condition of used devices to assure continued effectiveness. The 2013 version has been updated to reflect new regulations, new technologies and provide a better visual guide.

California MUTCD CEu .15As of January 13, 2012, California Department of Transportation adopted the California Manual on uniform Traffic Control Devices (California MuTCD) 2012 edition to provide for uniform standards and specifications for all official traffic control devices in California. CalTrans experts will discuss the changes to the California MuTCD. Find out how your business may be impacted and what you need to do to be in compliance.

FAQs, Product Eligibility Process, Roadside Design Guide and More . . . CEu .15The Federal Highway Administration will provide an in-depth review of the latest FAqs as well as the new FHWA Product Eligibility Process. How FHWA sees the Roadside Design Guide being implemented by the states will also be discussed. Be sure to join us for this informative session.

Getting Teens Involved in Roadway Infrastructure Safety CEu .15Most programs targeted at the teens are a series of “don’ts” . . . don’t drink and drive, text and drive, have too many teens in a car, etc. While these are all worthwhile efforts, The American Traffic Safety Services Foundation has teamed with the National Organizations for youth Safety (NOyS) and the Roadway Safety Foundation to develop a TeenRSA Program whereby teens learn about the roadway itself. Come hear about our pilot efforts and how you can sponsor a program in your community.

February 25–26, 2013The roadway safety industry is always changing. ATSSA education workshops are designed to deliver the most important information in the industry. Each workshop presenter is a respected industry expert who will answer your questions and help you bring home solutions you can use right away. The time you spend with us in February will be useful to you throughout the entire year.

Share ideas and opinions with other roadway safety professionals, and hear their success stories

High Friction and Color Demarcation Lane Surfacing—Changing the face of Roadway Safety CEu .15FHWA, AASHTO, State DOT, NCuTCD and ATSSA’s High Friction Surfacing Council are moving rapidly to create the policies, regulations and testing procedures necessary to take advantage of these relatively new safety features for u.S. roadways. High Friction Surfacing has been added to the “Every Day Counts” initiative and green, red and purple lane surfaces are being installed for enhanced lane demarcation. Learn more from those driving these initiatives at the federal, state and local level.

Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) CEu .15Clearing up the misconceptions of HSIP and understanding the current version of the Highway Safety Improvement Program and how it works.

How to Avoid Work Zone Litigation CEu .15This session will address common pitfalls that highway contractors encounter that may lead to potential lawsuits and proposes solutions and techniques to avoid them. Among the pitfalls discussed are lack of training, lack of documentation, non-compliance with “should” conditions, a lack of approved traffic control plans and others.

Work Zone Inspection/Lane Closure Fundamentals CEu .15The session will address the fundamentals of work zone inspection, including compliance with applicable standards and guidelines and a discussion on lane closure inspection. Emphasis will be given to how proper inspection and documentation can help you minimize your exposure to litigation.

Low Cost ITS Safety Solutions CEu .15Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) do not have to costs millions of dollars. There are many examples of lower cost, reliable systems developed to address common traffic safety problems. ATSSA members teamed with FHWA to document systems that are proven to provide accurate, real-time warnings to motorists and pedestrians. Results show a significant reduction in the number of targeted crashes where these systems have been deployed.

ATSSA education workshops are

designed to deliver the most important information in the

industry


Peer to Peer Exchange—Integrating Safety into Our Policies and Standards CEu .15With the continued emphasis of safety on all public roads and the focus on the reduction of traffic-related fatalities and serious injuries, transportation officials are looking beyond policies and standards for ways to integrate safety into their decision making processes. This session will include a facilitated discussion by state, local, and industry peers of current traffic and design practices, identification of site specific or systematic roadway elements contributing to the severity of crashes, and the potential ways to integrate safety into policies and standards. Topics will include signing, pavement, and roadside design features.

Using Proper Warning Light Configuration and Protection for Workers CEu .15The traveling public cannot react to what they do not see. Roadway operations equipment used for construction, maintenance and utility work activities generally operate within the roadway or the right-of-way. To improve motorist and work-crew safety, equipment must be readily seen and recognized and, therefore, warning lights are provided on the equipment to alert motorists of potentially hazardous situations.

Thanks to ATSSA’s generous members, last year the Foundation raised over $108,000 with the help of 144 participants and 64 donors during the 21st Annual Golf Classic Tournament. The Foundation helps promote roadway safety through charitable giving and public awareness programs including the Roadway Worker Memorial Scholarship program, the National Work Zone Memorial, and the virginia Teen Driver Safety Public Service Announcement Contest.

The 22nd Annual Golf Classic Tournament kicks off at 9:00 a.m. on Friday, February 22, 2013 at Sycuan Golf Resort in El Cajon, California (www.sycuanresort.com). Come be a part of this wonderful tradition at this year’s 22nd Annual Golf Classic Tournament.

Sycuan Golf Resort is comprised of 36 holes of Championship golf and an 18-hole par three golf course to round out a spectacular 54-hole resort located in the Sweetwater River valley just 30 minutes from the San Diego airport. The Oak Glen golf course was the first championship golf course to be opened for play in January 1956. Pine Glen was opened a few months later in October 1956. Willow Glen, the second championship golf course, opened in April 1961.

* NEW Sponsorship Opportunities for the 2013 Foundation Golf Classic Tournament


The 1st Annual ATSS Foundation SPORTING CLAYS EVENTLemon Grove Rod and Gun Club16232 Sequan Truck TrailAlpine, CA 91901

Please join us for the first annual ATSS Foundation Sporting Clays Event at 10:00 a.m. on Friday, February 22, 2013, at the Lemon Grove Rod and Gun Club, Alpine, Calif. The ATSS Foundation will join forces with Impact Recovery Systems, Inc. (San Antonio, Texas) to host this latest fundraising event that is geared towards both the new and the seasoned shooter.

“The new event offers participants and sponsors alternative fundraising or sponsorship opportunities versus those available during the traditional golf tournament,” said ATSS Foundation President Sue Reiss. “Most importantly, we will be raising funds that directly assist those children who have lost a loved one in a work zone accident.”

All proceeds from both the golf tournament and the new shooting tournament go directly to programs that not only help educate the public about roadway safety, but most importantly, provide financial assistance through academic scholarships to young students who have lost a loved one in a roadway work zone.

Registration Fee $200 per shooter before December 30th

On-site Registration Fee $250 per shooter

Sponsorship OpportunitiesLunch Sponsor $1,500Tent Sponsor $1,250 (2 available)Tables and Chairs Sponsor $1,000 (2 available)Bus Transportation Sponsor $1,000Ammunition Sponsor $800 (2 available)Shooting Station Sponsor $200 (10 available)
