  • E-Ticketing in Illinois & The Future of Construction Through the Connected Jobsite ~ Brandon Hundley (HaulHub Technologies)
The advantages of e-Ticketing are apparent to state transportation agencies and the industry and all stakeholders agree that removing paper helps streamline payments, enables easier quantity tracking and reconciliation, and improves job site safety by removing the human element out of the equation of paper transfer in high-risk construction environments. The presentation will focus on the evolution of e-Ticketing, provide insight about how e-Ticketing implementations are going across the US, and in Illinois with various transportation authorities, and some of the practical challenges that need to be addressed before widespread adoption at scale.

  • Developing EPDs for Aggregates ~ John Yzenas Jr. (NSSGA, Technical Consultant)
    • The need for PCR’s / EPD’s has steadily increased over the past seven years.  This has recently been highlighted by the FHWA commentary that they have forty states agreeing to require EPD’s at some level.  This presentation will highlight their background, what they require and what you need to move forward and develop your own.
