The AASHTO Committee on Transportation Communications meeting brings together public affairs professionals from the 50 states to promotes excellence in communications through the exchange of ideas and educational programming, presents annual skills awards and advises other committees on communications issues.

Connect with STV professionals at the following sessions:

Don’t Design in a Crisis: Design for One
When: Tuesday, Sept. 29, 2:30-3:45 p.m.
Where: Breakout E2

Most agencies have a crisis communications plan, but do they have a crisis visual communications system? Join Shellee Kirby, Director of Engagement and Deirdre Hughes, Design Director, for an interactive workshop focused on building crisis-ready visual communications systems. Attendees will learn how to audit existing resources, identify gaps and develop pre-approved assets, design standards and deployment workflows that support rapid response and help maintain public trust.

Roads Remembered: Using Transportation History to Build Public Connection
When: Wednesday, Sept. 30, 10:30-11:45 a.m.
Where: Constellation Ballroom

Join Allison Dane Camden, Vice President and Pacific Northwest Area Manager, as she moderates this discussion on how transportation agencies can transform historical photographs, maps, archival records and community stories into strategic communications assets. This session will demonstrate how history can strengthen agency identity, build public trust, encourage participation and create stronger connections between agencies and the communities they serve.
