TC3 Update 2019 New Developments from Design (NOT on Priority List) Flexibility in Design  — Training addresses the ability to utilize the full range of design specifications to meet the individual needs of each roadway project — 4 or 5 modules; 2 hours  How to Meet Modal Needs — Training addresses the ability to provide transportation facilities that meet the needs of more than just vehicles, including pedestrians, bicyclists, and transit riders — 3 modules; ? Hours LRFD Bridge Design Specification Training  — Training addresses use of the most recent edition of the LRFD Bridge Design Specifications — 10-12 modules; ? hours

TC3 Update 2019 State Survey and End User Survey Highlights  Web-based training format is still a high priority for states and end users  Course matrix view is needed to assist end users to find training  We need to continue to build job aids and checklists for states and end users  Video library is in demand by states and end users  Mobile trainings are on the rise  Microlearnings are also on the rise (important to have much needed topics)  New State scorecards will provide this much needed information  We need to work closely with State partners to promote TC3; market materials/communication to State champions for internal distribution  State and end users are spreading the word through word of mouth, newsletters, email blasts, forwarded emails, etc.

TC3 Update 2019 New Matrices Reviews and Updates  Teams have been working to update matrices  Led several meetings with reviewers to discuss and update existing matrices: — Materials — Maintenance — Construction — Pavement Preservation  New matrix format developed — Demonstrate — Huge project will require a lot of work
