Welcome to “Last Ten Minutes” with Dana Newsome: a transportation-focused blog highlighting Louisiana’s TIMED Program and digressing occasionally to hot topics in the transportation industry. My goal is to share with you my thoughts at the end of the day – the last ten minutes of my day that is. Many days it’s hard to find an extra ten minutes for anything while working on Louisiana’s largest transportation program, but I am eager and excited to communicate my thoughts and insight with each of you.
As communications director for Louisiana’s TIMED Program, I have the opportunity to share exciting news and progress on our $4.7 billion transportation program. This blog provides me another opportunity to help share this news. I hope you will join me and send me feedback on my posts. I also encourage questions and suggestions for future blog topics.
Louisiana’s TIMED Program is progressing and moving forward, despite the hurricanes of 2005. The Fiscal Year 2005/06 Annual Report is being issued this week and is posted on our website for your review. We are very proud of the accomplishments of the past year and are looking forward to another successful year for 2007.
Well, this ten minutes is about up – I am looking forward to visiting with you again soon and am preparing entries on topics including: TIMED Funding, TIMED Construction Progress, TIMED and Economic Development, TIMED as part of the DOTD’s Transportation Plan.
Thanks for spending the last ten minutes of my day with me. Hope to see you again –
