Transportation (TTG)

The ASCE Orange County Branch Transportation Technical Group holds their bi-monthly luncheons at UCI’s University Club.  

The Orange County Branch Transportation Technical Group (TTG) allows our members to interact with other professionals in the transportation field of civil engineering.  We regularly send active Orange County branch members to Transportation and Development Institute (T&DI) Congresses held on a annual bases across the country.  We hope the Orange County Branch members will learn new ideas and find interesting speaker topics that we can bring back to our local branch members.  Periodically TTG OC holds joint events with the Orange County Branch during branch general meetings.  The Orange County Branch and the TTG OC work together to provide continuing educations events that are relevant TTG members. We hope you will come out and participate in our technical group and work with us to build a strong organization.

California's Road User Charge Pilot

As I travel around throughout California, I notice that the road conditions change drastically from one area to the next. In 2012, ASCE Region 9 released it’s most recent California Infrastructure Report Card giving Transportation a C- letter grade. At the time of the report, the California Streets and Roads Needs Assessment rated the overall Pavement Condition Index (PCI) across the state to be just 66 on a 100 point scale.
