dTIMS Regional Pavement Management Workshop in Phoenix, Arizona
by Arif Rafiq
Deighton, in conjunction with the City of Phoenix, hosted a dTIMS Regional Workshop on May 18, 2010.
The City of Phoenix graciously provided the venue for the half-day event.
In attendance were 20 representatives from surrounding cities and counties.
The goal of the workshop was to facilitate networking and the exchange of ideas on pavement management. Many ideas and new techniques were shared and Deighton provided a demonstration of dTIMS, highlighting the benefits of our software tool. The event was a huge success!
Special thanks to Rubben Lolly, of the City of Phoenix, for helping organize and host this event!
