Dear Everyone who attended the webinar on Weds, and wanted to download
the files.
FHWA just updated the webinar software and somehow we have TEMPORARILY
lost our materials. The NHI team is working to restore our CTPP web
meeting room.
Thank you for your patience. Since I will be on vacation until June 7,
please contact Ed Christopher with your webinar follow-up questions.
708-283-3534.

We have scheduled a second webinar on June 4 to accommodate people who
were unable to attend the May 21 session. The webinar will cover the
same information as the May 21 webinar. (Also, the May 21 webinar
will be archived for 30 days, but because of upgrades to the FHWA
webinar software, I do not yet have a link to the archived materials.
In addition, we will have notes from the Q&A from May 21 posted to the
web meeting room in a few days.)
To assure your space, please pre-register for the June 4 meeting.
