Below you will find the latest blogs from leading figures within the Institution.
Last month, I attended the Chartered Institution of Highways and Transportation's very first Young Professional's Conference in Leeds.
Throughout the course of the day talks were divided into hubs, essentially breakout areas, in which guest speakers would host a short seminar style presentation.
Earlier this year the CIHT Network Management and Operations Panel meeting we discussed a growing challenge for those responsible for managing and operating our highway networks - the transition to electric vehicles.
This blog provides additional comments to the technical paper published in the January 2019 issue of Transportation Professional which up-dates both the highway authority and utility company views on the positive actions considered necessary to drive forward appropriate improvements in street works management.
Below you will find the latest blogs from Matthew Lugg, President, CIHT that highlight some of his activity throughout the year.
Another busy month of presidential commitments including 3 Regional Dinners, 4 networking dinners, a conference presentation, a stakeholder meeting, a House of Lords reception and a Board of Trustees meeting. Plus I did manage to squeeze a short break to see my daughter Isabelle in Ibiza and enjoy a rare family get together of all my grandchildren.
After such a brilliant summer, autumn has arrived and with it the start of a very busy period of Presidential commitments where I’ve attended three regional dinners plus the Locan Cup dinner, two roundtable debates and one workshop, presented at two conferences and chaired two CIHT meetings - all very exciting!
After a hectic initial but very enjoyable few weeks in June the last two months have been much quieter in terms of formal events the “lull before the storm”. That is not to say I haven’t been busy and there are a few interesting developments to share with you.
