About Us
Promoting the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of safe and efficient highways.
Our Society was formed 50 years ago to be a voice for the highway industry. Over the years, we have grown from a small group of individuals to a national organization of over 4,000 members. This steady growth has occurred because of our commitment to the highway industry. We understand that the reputation of our organization is based on the integrity and character of its members. That is why all members are required to abide by the code of conduct that is set into place by our Board of Directors.
