Matt Roman, CTA's Director of Legislative Affairs, highlights some of CTA's top victories in the 2019 legislative session and also gives an update on the bill that is on everyone's minds AB 5. Click on the video below to watch this important video update. Last month, CTA held a webinar on AB 5 with some of the country's top transportation and employment law firms: Holland & Knight, Ogletree Deakins, and Scopelitis. If you missed the webinar or want to review, the links to the recording and slides are below. Last week, Caltrans held its annual I-80 Winter Operations meeting in Kingvale, CA. For the past few years Caltrans has held the meeting to provide a forum for carriers that transport goods and services through the Donner Pass region to receive key information prior to the winter season. Caltrans, CHP and National Weather Service representatives each provided carriers in attendance critical information from their respective agencies.
