As 2022 quickly comes to a close and so much exciting work has happened, the PTF would like to thank all of you for continuing your efforts to improve AASHTOWare Project. I hope that everyone that was able to join us in person at the Project User Group (PUG) Annual meeting is still energized and using knowledge or training received in your own agency.

Volunteerism has always been the cornerstone of AASHTO. From the beginning, it’s been an organization driven by its agency volunteers. AASHTOWare began as one of the early outputs of the Cooperative Computer Software Development program when Infotech sold AASHTO its Bid Analysis and Management System (BAMS) software in 1985.

“When I was growing up, I always wanted to be someone. Now I realize I should have been more specific.” Lily Tomlin
I found this quote recently, and it struck me that, in some ways, it fits us as a user community for AASHTOWare Project. We all want to see AASHTOWare Project improve and “be something,” if I may paraphrase Ms. Tomlin.

We want to extend sincere thanks and acknowledgment to agencies that put effort into funding or co-funding TMRs in recent enhancement releases. We very much appreciate your dedication, and we are so grateful to have you as our customers. You all play a crucial role in the success of the AASHTOWare Project!
