NTTA Diversity Program Graduates Seventh Class
NTTA DIVERSITY PROGRAM GRADUATES SEVENTH CLASS
PLANO, Texas, Nov. 21, 2024 – The North Texas Tollway Authority (NTTA) proudly announces the graduation of the seventh “Relationships and Opportunities Advancing Diversity” (ROAD) Program class.
NTTA created the ROAD Program in 2008 using a mentor-protégé model to help grow skills needed to compete for large-scale projects with NTTA and other transportation agencies.
“We celebrate the continued success of the ROAD program and recognize the hard work of both protégés and mentors” said NTTA Chairman Scott Levine. "We are committed to growing smaller firms' capabilities so they are able to successfully compete for projects, which will benefit NTTA and similar entities in North Texas.”
This partnering relationship provides access to greater resources, products, and services, as well as training and support for expanding business operations, technical capabilities and strengthening diverse businesses.
This 2022-24 ROAD program class was comprised of 15 companies who formed teams to complete the program’s curriculum over the last two years. To date, 78 teams, including this graduating class, have successfully completed the program.
