PUG Corner

February 28, 2026

Somehow, it’s already time for another PUG Corner article. I’m not sure who keeps hitting the fast forward button on the calendar, but if we could all agree to stop doing that, it would be great. We hope you all had a joyous holiday season.

The Advisors have jumped right into the TAG meetings, sharing updates, gathering intel, and generally making us look more organized than we probably deserve. Communication is up, confusion is down, and we’re calling that a win.

PUG Enhancement Ranking

The new ranking system is live, so don’t forget to update your TMRs. Yes, this is your reminder. Yes, we will keep reminding you.

2026 PUG Conference

Conference planning is underway. Set your calendars for October 4^th – 8^th, 2026, when we’ll all meet in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. We’ve started brainstorming presentation topics and figuring out which demos will impress and inform you the most—or at least not put you to sleep. Our AASHTO planner, Michele Beauboeuf, is already working her magic behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly.

Got ideas for topics, demos, or training? Do you want to see something specific at the conference? Please reach out to a PUG Board member. We look forward to your suggestions.

We can’t wait to see you all in Murfreesboro!

Respectfully,

The PUG Board
