The Workshop will feature mobile workshops, plenary sessions, and 20 breakout sessions scheduled in four concurrent tracks over the two-day and half workshop. This Workshop is designed to support local public agency staff who have oversight of locally administered projects or work with projects receiving special funding from VDOT, as well as consultants and VDOT staff who are involved in the delivery of locally administered projects.
