[CTPP] requesting CTPP on-site training

Of course, the travel budget for conducting on-site training is limited, but the first thing to do is ASK. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. Please send your training requests to Penelope Weinberger at AASHTO pweinberger(a)aashto.org She is coordinating the requests. The 3 people who are doing the training are: Penelope, Ed Christopher from FHWA Resource Center, and Liang Long from Cambridge Systematics. For a 1.5 day workshop, or even a 1 day workshop, it is best to have 2 people as the trainers. If you are looking for a computer-based training course, you will need to find a host with a computer training room. Often a State DOT has a training room that works. All the computers need web access, since the 2006-2008 CTPP data are accessed via the web, and not using mail-out CD's which we used for CTPP2000. After our first computer-based training session for this release of CTPP, 1.5 days was determined to be much better than a 1 day session. That is why the sessions in California are 1.5 days.
