2004 Louisiana Transportation Engineering Conference
Radisson Hotel and Conference Center
Baton Rouge, Louisiana
February 15-18, 2004
The 2004 Louisiana Transportation Engineering Conference is held on a biennial basis to foster a better relationship and understanding among DOTD, FHWA, and the transportation industry (contractors, consultants, universities, suppliers, parish/local agencies) by providing for interchange between the public and private sectors relative to transportation policy, practice, and problems.
The Conference provides a forum for interchange among DOTD personnel and the public and private sector to allow the DOTD Secretary and other DOTD administrative officials an opportunity to relate their vision, direction, and expectations.
The Conference also provides for the educational enhancement of the transportation engineering community by relating the engineering activities, progress, and special projects of the department; as well as presenting information on innovative technologies, and offering professional development opportunities.
This year's conference is hosted by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development and the Louisiana Transportation Research Center. The conference site will be the Radisson Hotel and Conference Center, 4728 Constitution Avenue, Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
