SEPPP Task Forces
From time to time, a Partnership’s Board or Steering Committee may appoint working groups of persons possessing special knowledge or expertise for the development of programs, tasks, and activities, or to perform other actions which promote the objectives of the Partnership.
For their duration, each of the task forces (or action item committees) will have a leader(s), a defined work scope, a list of deliverable items, and an expected completion date.
Note: Task Force deliverable products (when available) are posted on this Pavement website at Technical / Task Force Products.

Explore use of on-line training to promote and instill best practices. Develop training for agency and industry to offset the effects of personnel turnover.
B. Create a Demonstration Opportunity at Annual Meeting.
Note: Safety of field visits participants is a concern that will need to be address on a case by case basis. C. Pavement Preservation Training Library
D. Share Successes and Lessons Learned |
Available Resources | A. Identify Training Opportunities – Available online or on-site training: FHWA-NHINCPPNAPA – Best Practices in PavingAsphalt Institute – Basic Emulsion Technical Training Asphalt Institute – HMA 101 Asphalt Institute – Construction of Quality HMA Pavements ISSA – Training Courses, Videos, Web-based Training IGGA – PCCP Preservation and Rehabilitation Universities – Auburn University – NCAT Note: Short course (2 to 4 hours) could be offered prior to SEPPP annual meetings: This effort will require identification of a topic that is of interest to the SEPPP members and coordination of development and delivery of the course with experts (government, academia, industry, etc.) who would be willing to teach the course. B. Pavement Preservation Demonstrations at Annual Meeting SEPPP Meeting Host State will showcase a demonstration of one or more pavement preservation treatment(s). Note: This effort will require detail coordination with the SEPPP board members and industry. Also, safety of field visits participants will need to be address on a case by case basis. C. Pavement Preservation Training Library The following are the links to the existing pavement preservation libraries in the internet. A web design expert will be required to organize the proposed training library in the TSP-2 internet site, organize the material by subject areas such as crack sealing, full-depth slab replacement, micro-sealing, etc, and to keep the library up to date in a regular basis.
D. Share Successes and Lessons Learned The following options should be considered to develop a forum or blog in the internet that can be use by SEPPP members to share pavement preservation best practices, success stories, questions, specifications, etc.
