Help us kick off the year by gathering with TXAPA members to discuss changes and plans for 2022, hear from several industry and TxDOT speakers, welcome new board members and the new TXAPA President, and participate in the Winter Classic Golf Tournament. We're looking forward to seeing you all at the Dallas/Fort Worth Marriott Hotel & Golf Club at Champions Circle January 18-20, 2022.

Everything you need to know to design, build, and maintain county roads and city streets is at the third annual Managing Asphalt Pavements Conference and Trade Show! On the registration site, you will find a tentative agenda, interactive exhibitor map, options to register as an exhibitor or sponsor, hotel information, and more.

Jim Warren's highly acclaimed education series for Inspectors is in full swing! Each class will be held over the course of six sessions, meeting from 8-10:30 AM CST, twice weekly for three weeks.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2021 Asphalt Road-eo Detective from Louisiana Tech University! Thanks to our members' record-breaking contributions to the TXAPA Scholarship Program this year, we were able to award each individual from the winning team $2,000 (compared to $1,000 in years past). The runner-ups from The University of Texas at El Paso will receive $1,000 for their hard work, as well. Great job, everyone!

Buckling up is the single most effective thing you can do to protect yourself in a crash. According to TxDOT, Texas saw a 16% increase in deaths of unbuckled motorists in 2020, totaling 1,073 fatalities.

TXAPA will continue to move the needle for quality in the coming decade by promoting a new concept in asphalt paving communication, a gathering of key personnel just prior to placement and compaction called the “All-Hands.” Chuck Fuller has discussed the All-Hands on TXAPA Live, and the All-Hands section of our website is packed with helpful resources and information.

Distributed to nearly 5,000 industry professionals, Texas Asphalt magazine features articles about environmental issues, safety, new technology, best business practices, and more.

 

Texas Asphalt is distributed in both print and an interactive, digital format. Subscribers do not have to be members of TXAPA to receive Texas Asphalt.
