Thanks to AISC Certification & NSBA, we are pleased to offer complimentary registration and travel assistance to attend the North Central States Consortium (NCSC) on November 5-7, 2025, in Omaha, Nebraska. Please share this information with your colleagues and staff—this offer extends to two DOT representatives or bridge owners from each state or agency.

Reimbursement Details: The two representatives from each state will be reimbursed for registration and travel expenses. Please connect the two attendees with DOTQS (ncsc@dotqs.com), AFTER registration to properly track reimbursement.

AISC will reimburse these two representatives for their travel expenses. Please review the following guidelines for eligible expenses and the reimbursement process. Please contact Todd Alwood, Vice President of Membership & Certification, at alwood@aisc.org if you have any questions about reimbursement.

This includes mileage reimbursement for local mileage at the current IRS-recommended rate, parking, ridesharing (taxis, Uber, Lyft), public transportation, meals during travel, and air or rail fare.

Lodging: We’re pleased to reimburse the actual hotel room costs for the event days. You must stay in the NCSC hotel block to be eligible for reimbursement. Please contact DOTQS (ncsc@dotqs.com) if the room block is full or if you cannot make a reservation.

Attend the meals the NCSC plans and provides; alternative meals will not be reimbursed.

In-room costs and incidentals are not reimbursed.

Ask for guidance before submitting a non-local mileage reimbursement request.
