APWA book review

APWA's Public Outreach Series offers 10 booklets addressing right-of-way, pothole, water conservation, transportation, snow and ice control, and other areas. This series presents a broad overview of each issue, highlights key concepts, and provides statistical information, illustrations and strategies for addressing these issues in your community. Each is specifically targeted to the appropriate audience and written in an easy-to-understand format. Many contain glossaries of terms, and detailed references for websites and sources for further information.

Through this series, APWA aims to provide public decision-makers with an understanding of the issues and how to develop their own strategies for addressing them.
