What is the Transportation Practice Specialty?The transportation industry covers hundreds, if not thousands, of topics. It is an ever-expanding arena that interfaces and overlaps more and more with safety, health and environmental (SH&E) professionals. An understanding of transportation regulations is a must for most SH&E professionals, and a strong knowledge of transportation issues will make you a more marketable professional. With such a vast field of knowledge to cover, ASSE created the Transportation Practice Specialty. ASSE has always recognized the need for transportation professionals in the SH&E arena. The Transportation Practice Specialty was founded with the goal of developing and disseminating a Body of Knowledge for the SH&E community. This Body of Knowledge also serves those who wish to become SH&E professionals with interests in transportation topics. The members of the Transportation Practice Specialty provide many resources. A brief overview of our resources is as follows: TransActions—The Transportation Practice Specialty publishes a tri-annual newsletter that includes timely articles on issues affecting transportation professionals. The newsletter also includes editorial commentary from the Transportation Practice Specialty Administrator. Article submission is encouraged. For information, contact the Administrator. Transportation Practice Specialty Website—The website contains links to many transportation topics. Additional information found on the website includes Professional Development Conference (PDC) information, Body of Knowledge links, committee activities, current projects and volunteer requests. The Transportation Practice Specialty welcomes your involvement in projects and committees. PDC Events—The Student Roundtable is an important activity for the Transportation Practice Specialty at the annual PDC. Student mentoring is a key strategic goal. We also sponsor pre- and post-seminars, sessions and receptions. Our involvement in providing transportation presentations during general sessions has increased in number and attendance each year, and member involvement during the PDC is encouraged. Members who would like to participate in future PDC events sponsored by the Transportation Practice Specialty should contact the Administrator. The Transportation Practice Specialty Advisory Committee —The Advisory Committee is a group of dedicated professionals who give direction to the Transportation Practice Specialty. They meet quarterly to discuss goal setting, assign responsibilities and approve actions. Current projects include the ongoing development of a Body of Knowledge, website expansion, newsletter content and outreach to other professional associations and organizations. This is a brief explanation of how the Transportation Practice Specialty provides value to its membership. There are many ways in which you can benefit by helping us. Your participation in projects, committees and events will not only help us reach our goals, but will provide you with invaluable experience and contacts as you grow with the SH&E profession. Let us know how we can assist you. Key ContactsAdministrator: Nancy Bendickson Assistant Administrator:Frank D'Ambrosio Publication Editor:Matthew Daecher |
