SC&RA and the California Trucking Association sent a letter to California Department of Transportation Director Tony Tavares, encouraging the prioritization of the funding, procurement, development, and transition to a 24/7 auto-issue permitting system. The letter comes after several years of unprecedented delays with turnaround times on obtaining a transportation permit. “We are encouraging the state of California to take advantage of the FMCSA’s Innovative Technology Deployment discretionary grant program which provides financial and technical assistance to States to deploy, operate, and maintain innovative road safety technologies, including commercial motor vehicle, commercial driver, and carrier-specific information systems and networks,” said SC&RA VP Transportation Chris Smith. “California is one of the last states to transition to a 24/7 auto-issue permit system and we stand ready to help in any way possible so that the heavy specialized transportation sector can assist the state on the many infrastructure projects essential to its economy.” Read the letter here: https://ow.ly/pSjU50Tlwe2

The Crane & Rigging Workshop will feature an amazing keynote speaker, Major (Ret.) Scotty Smiley. He became the first blind active-duty officer in military history following a face-to-face confrontation in 2005 with an Iraqi terrorist suicide car bomber. After his injury, Scotty’s faith led him to forgive his attacker and inspired him to rebuild his life while continuing to serve his country in the U.S. Army. Smiley then went on to tandem skydive with the U.S. Army's Golden Knights, climb Mount Rainier and complete a Coeur d'Alene Ironman. Major Smiley was also named "Soldier of the Year" in 2007 and ESPN awarded him an ESPY Award in 2008 as the best outdoor athlete.
