Employees invited to TRB presentation

ITD employees are invited to a presentation in Boise at the Headquarters Auditorium Aug. 1 from the national Transportation Research Board (TRB). The presentation will be video conferenced via WebEx in each of the districts. The session will be held at 1:30 PDT and 2:30 MDT.
