The ASCE OC Transportation Technical Group (TTG), in conjunction with the City of Anaheim, is sponsoring a tour of the Anaheim Regional Transportation Intermodal Center, otherwise known as ARTIC.  This tour will take place on Tuesday, March 12th and will include both a luncheon at JT Schmidts, along with a tour of the early stages of construction of the facility.  Please reserve early as space is very limited.

Rudy Emami, Capital Programs Manager - Engineering for the City of Anaheim, will be the speaker for the luncheon event and Michael McAlpine, STV Vice President, will be the second “speaker/tour leader.” 

The event timing is:
• Check in / networking 11:15-11:45 am
• Lunch 11:45-12:15
• PowerPoint and questions 12:00 to 12:30
• Walking to the ARTIC tour site 12:30 -12:45 pm
• ARTIC site tour 12:45 to 1:15 pm
 
ARTIC and JT Schmidts share a parking lot and are within walking distance.  Thus, following lunch and the PowerPoint presentation, participants will simply walk over to the tour.

The info for JT Schmidts is:  2610 E. Katella Avenue, Anaheim, CA 92806, (714) 634-9200, info@jtrestaurants.com.

Since ARTIC is an active construction project, personal protective equipment (PPE) will be required for those who would like access to the site (eye protection, safety vest, hard hat, boots). Please note that just “boots” will be required, not “steel-toed” boots.  Those attending the tour are required to provide their own PPE.  To accommodate those who cannot provide the required PPE, the tour will also include a perimeter tour of the ARTIC construction site as well.
