Caltrans Director Randy Iwasaki, speaking to an asphalt pavement industry conference, gave a frank assessment of “strained” transportation funding, the importance of the Caltrans-construction industry partnership and green initiatives.
Iwasaki, who took over the top job at the state highway department earlier this year from Will Kempton, delivered the keynote address at the filled-to-capacity California Asphalt Pavement Forum Nov. 12, organized by the California Asphalt Pavement Association, at the Doubletree Hotel in Sacramento.
