During the two-day meeting, the CTB will hear special presentations from industry experts on the impacts of state and federal funding to transportation programs in Virginia and around the nation. Special guest speakers include:

• Jack Basso, American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO)
  
  
• Professor David Hartgen, Reason Foundation

The presentations by Basso and Hartgen will take place Sept. 17 near the beginning of the 2 p.m. workshop. The Layman presentation will begin at 9 a.m. Sept. 18.
