This is the first of a two-part series, see agenda below.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This training is beneficial for professionals involved in road design, construction, maintenance, and safety.

In this role, he oversaw preconstruction and design programmatic activities and coordinated annually $600 - $700 million dollars of construction project delivery, resulting in $1 billion in construction lettings. Prior to this, Mr. Jasper managed KYTC's Standard Drawing program and was the agency's technical expert on roadside safety design, providing oversight on roadside design standards and teaching roadside design classes to Cabinet staff and engineering consultants. As the current program manager of the Kentucky Transportation Center's (KTC) Project Development Program, he directs research on highway project management, roadway design engineering, and roadside safety. At KTC, Mr. Jasper has spearheaded several roadside safety research initiatives for KYTC, including In-Service Evaluation of High-Tension Cable Barrier Systems and MASH Analysis of KYTC's Standard Drawings. A well-respected educator, he teaches the National Highway Institute's Roadside Safety Design course and routinely delivers trainings on topics such as project development and management on behalf of KYTC.
