Perrin Among the
Top 100 Transportation Names
 Alden
F. Perrin, founder and publisher of Better Roads magazine from its first
issue in October, 1931 through August, 1964, when he retired, was recently
named by the American Road & Transportation Builders Association’s
Transportation Development Foundation to America’s Top 100 Private Sector
Transportation Design & Construction Professionals of the 20th Century.
The award was part of ARTBA’s Centennial Celebration
Program to draw public attention to the enormous social, economic, and
mobility contributions made by the men and women of the U.S. transportation
construction industry.
Better Roads’ current President and Publisher
Michael Porcaro, accepted the award for the magazine and on Perrin’s behalf
at a gala Washington dinner honoring the winners.
A new book is being released that spotlights the
winners and their achievements. Builders, engineers, equipment innovators,
technology and materials innovators, safety pioneers, as well as educators,
news media, and association executives were included in the top 100. To see
