With rapid advancement in technology, it is becoming difficult for transportation professionals to keep pace over their career lifetimes. Continuing education programs are a way to help combat this problem. These programs are being pursued by departments of transportation and universities across the country. In the Rocky Mountain Area the Mountain-Plains Consortium was established to help combine the educational resources of higher education institutions in Federal Highway Administration's Region 8. Through this cooperative effort the TEL8 system was developed. TEL8 is a satellite-based telecommunications system.
