President Daniels Highlights Several JTRP Initiatives in Senate Testimony
On June 25, President Daniels testified before the Senate Finance Committee. President Daniels’ opening remarks reference the Purdue Road School, an event co-sponsored by JTRP and LTAP. President Daniels has been a long-time supporter of the Purdue Road School, first participating when he gave the 2006 Road School Luncheon address during the launch of Major Moves and this past year when he hosted a session with Mayor Dennis on the innovative partnership between the City and Purdue on the State Street initiative.

JTRP affiliated faculty, staff and students were actively engaged in the traffic engineering portion of that assessment which evaluated travel times along alternative paths.
