State departments of transportation own and manage fleets of vehicles and equipment. Once vehicles and equipment reach an age, level or use, or condition that limits usefulness for operations, these assets must be disposed of in an economical way. This webinar will provide guidance on selecting effective strategies for preparing, marketing, and selling surplus equipment and vehicles to maximize proceeds.

Industry-wide, airports are experiencing disruptive and continuous changes that include the rapid introduction of new technology, financial constraints, retirements, and the need to replace seasoned veterans. These changes are compounded by a diminishing pipeline of individuals interested in working at airports. While the term “knowledge management” is not in widespread use at airports, many are already applying techniques, such as documenting standard operating procedures or conducting after-action reviews following airport disruptions. This webinar will provide practical approaches and solutions that any airport can use to facilitate active and continuous knowledge management.
