Dear Colleagues,
The theme of this year’s Project Delivery Workshop is Building Better Together.
Our work is complex, fast-moving, and highly connected. No one discipline, office, or partner can do it alone. Success depends on strong teamwork, clear communication, and trust across planning, design, construction, maintenance, and our business partners. When we work together early and often, we make better decisions and deliver better projects for the public.
This week’s sessions are designed to share real experiences, lessons learned, and new ideas that can help us work smarter and more efficiently. As you listen and participate, think about how these ideas can be applied within your own organization. Take time during breaks to talk with colleagues, ask questions, and learn from one another. These conversations are just as important as the presentations themselves.
We hope this workshop helps strengthen relationships, improve coordination, and support the continued success of our transportation program. By building better together, we are also helping prepare the next generation of leaders to take on the challenges ahead.
We would like to sincerely thank the members of the Planning Committee and all of our presenters for their time, effort, and commitment to making this year’s workshop possible. The members of the 2026 Planning Committee are:
