A Message from the Chair
About the Committee
It is our responsibility as public works professionals to be the
stewards of the rights-of-way to ensure sustainable utilization of the
public rights-of-way in accordance with all applicable local, state, and
federal laws. APWA’s Utilities and Public Rights-of-Way Committee
(UPROW) is actively identifying new resources, state-of-the art
technology, and innovative approaches to assist managers, users,
contractors, and elected officials in the ongoing formulation of public
policy and local and state ordinances, as well as identifying best
practices for the management of public rights-of-way.
This year UPROW will focus on two main objectives:
- identifying new resources, state-of-the art technology, and
innovative approaches to assist managers, users, contractors, and
elected officials in the ongoing formulation of public policy, local and
state ordinances
- identifying best practices for the management of public rights-of-way
Utilities and Public Rights-of-Way Knowledge Team
In an effort to expand volunteer opportunities to those who may be interested in contributing to the Utilities and Public Rights-of-Way Committee, the committee has created a knowledge team. Members of the knowledge team will commit to share information with APWA members through working on projects such as writing articles, presenting Click, Listen, and Learn sessions, speaking at PWX and other conferences and other methods.
