Construction Round Table

[edit]

The Federal Transit Administration sponsors the Transit Construction Roundtable, with the purpose of bringing together FTA and grantee staff involved in the construction of major capital transit projects. This publication highlights the accomplishment of this forum of engineers and construction managers. This exchange of ideas, experiences, and best practices in the implementation of high dollar/complex construction projects is expected to: improve the quality of major capital projects by sharing lessons learned among transit agencies; and, improve FTA's service to its customers by listening to their concerns and implementing program initiatives to facilitate project delivery. To date, almost 40 semiannual meetings have been held in cities across the country.
