The program is scheduled to begin at 7:30 a.m. with registration and a continental breakfast, and conclude at 2:35 p.m. Registration is $30 for the first participant from public agencies, $20 for each additional participant from the same agency, and $100 each for participants from private companies and consultants.

The Michigan Asset Management Council, created in 2002 by the Michigan Legislature, promotes the concept that the transportation system is unified, rather than separated by jurisdictional ownership. The council's mission is to recommend an asset management strategy to the State Transportation Commission and the Michigan Legislature for Michigan's entire transportation system.
