MAASTO Annual Conference
Our CEO, Mae Whiteside Williams, attended the 2025 Mid-America Association of State
Transportation Officials (MAASTO) Annual Conference, which took place from August 25–27 in Minneapolis, Minnesota. There, she learned how transportation agencies and our AEC colleagues were actively adopting AI for transportation infrastructure projects. Highlights ranged from sessions on work zone safety, how EVs could power the future, and just how key a strong relationship with the communities we serve truly is.
