EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR<br />
This past February, TxDOT hosted<br />
its 12th Transportation Forum. Besides<br />
providing an avenue for us to celebrate<br />
our 100th year of service, the two-day<br />
event also allowed transportation<br />
professionals to discuss the state<br />
of transportation, and how to take<br />
“out of the box” ideas and turn them<br />
into reality.<br />
This year, we invited Thomas Frey,<br />
senior futurist at the DaVinci Institute,<br />
