This week the Federal Highway Administration announced a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for the next phase of the Low Carbon Transportation Materials (LCTM) grant program. Many state associations and companies were instrumental in helping more than 35 state DOTs to apply for funding under the first phase of the LCTM program. This next phase will provide up to $800 million in funding to local governments, political subdivisions of a state, U.S. territories, federally recognized tribes, Federal Land Management Agencies, Metropolitan Planning Organizations and special purpose districts or public authorities with a transportation function to increase the use of materials that have “substantially lower levels of embodied greenhouse gas emissions.” The deadline for applications is November 25.

 

NRMCA’s Concrete Technologist Training and Certification, commonly referred to as the "Short Course,” is deeply tied to the Association’s long history of providing professional education services to the concrete industry. Colin Lobo, instructor of the course and NRMCA executive vice president, engineering, said “the Short Course was one of the first education and certification programs offered by NRMCA, dating back to the 1960s”. Today, Colin continues to ensure that this long-running program delivers value and up-to-date training to Association members. Other course instructors have included the recently retired Gary Mullings, NRMCA Senior Vice President, Technical Services, Karthik Obla and guest presenters on specific topics.
