Starting with nothing other than a dream and a belief I developed the New Products Evaluation Program for Lower Volume Local Roads,PennDoT Publication #447. This process encompasses choosing products that are not PennDot approved but can be designed for, applicable to and cost effective for lower volume local roads in Local Governments. This allowed municipal liquid fuel funds to be expended on these products and processes when they were not PennDoT Materials approved or in Pub 408 but listed in publication 447.

The hope was for a second pilot or continuation to upload or transfer this information to Counties, PennDot and surrounding municipalities.

Highway Transfer Program ( Turnback Program) This was an ongoing program I managed where the ownership of a State Highway is transferred to local government ownership and control. This included the review and approval of contract roadway & bridge construction work to put the roadway into an acceptable condition prior to transfer. Worked with 20 PennDoT District turnback coordinators across the Commonwealth.
