Happy Halloween, KYSITE! It's time to channel your inner creativity and dress up as something spooky! Or, if you're like some of our officers, show up to a party dressed like "Beer Snob Engineer."
Whatever your costume, we hope to see you at our Annual Meeting in a few short weeks. There's all the information you'll need showcased below.
As always, let us know if there is anything we can do for you!

2016 Fall Technical Meeting
If we didn't see you this past Tuesday at Completely Kentucky, then you missed out on a very informative KYSITE Fall Technical Meeting.
We head from Ted Swanseger on "What's New in Traffic Signal and Roadway Lighting Design at KYTC". The answer to that question is LOTS! There will be new prequalifications coming in 2017 for KYTC Electrical Engineering Traffic Signal and Roadway Lighting Services. "What's New in the KYTC HSIP Program" was presented by Jarrod Stanley. He provided some information about how the Cabinet is starting to include Highway Safety Manual methods and tools (IHSDM Software). The last presentation was by Lindsay Walker, presenting on her perspective and group project for LeadershipITE. Leadership ITE is a program put on by ITE to identify, develop, and engage leaders to ensure that ITE and its members are positioned to participate and shape the future of transportation. Her group project was on ITE's role in the emerging connected vehicle / autonomous vehicle trends. If you have any questions about LeadershipITE, feel free to contact Lindsay Walker
or Scott Walker
for more information. Scott was a graduate of the inaugural class and Lindsay just recently graduated from the third class.
Thanks to our presenters and everyone who made it out on Tuesday for helping us to have a successful and informative Fall Technical Meeting.
