9. Ken Skorseth
Director
Local Transportation Assistance Program (LTAP) – South Dakota
“If you want the dirt on all things gravel roads, look no further than Ken Skorseth. Skorseth has spent
over 40 years studying unpaved roads all throughout the United States and as far away as New
Zealand.
Skorseth’s experience includes work in the highway and heavy construction industries, management of
a county highway department, and for the last 22 years Ken as the Field Service Manager / Program
Manager of the South Dakota Local Transportation Assistance Program at South Dakota State
University.
For over 20 years Skorseth has been educating engineers, managers, elected officials and maintenance
workers on subjects such as gravel road maintenance, low volume road maintenance and management.
Skorseth also served as the lead author of the Federal Highways Administration Gravel Roads Manual.
In 2011, Skorseth’s contributions to the industry earned him an induction into the South Dakota
Department of Transportation Hall of Honor for his lifetime contributions to local transportation in
South Dakota and the nation.”

17. Steve Monlux
PE of Low Volume Road Consultants, Stephen Monlux has over 40 years of engineering experience in
gravel surfaced and paved low-volume roads. He is currently an engineering consultant in materials
and pavement engineering, contract administration and technology transfer for several federal
agencies, state LTAP centers and numerous counties in the Northwest.
Previously, Mr. Monlux spent 26 years as the Northern Region Materials Engineer for the U.S. Forest
Service in Missoula Montana. Some of his duties included managing the Northern Region Materials
Engineering Laboratory, writing most of the Region’s specifications for construction and materials,
and providing consultation to Forest project road and bridge programs on all types of construction
materials (soil, aggregate, asphalt dust abatement, concrete, stabilization agents, geotextiles, etc.).
Mr. Monlux is the author of several Transportation Research Board papers on gravel road surfacing
stabilization. Research in this area continues with laboratory testing methods and field trials that
predict performance and extend the life of gravel and dust abatement materials. This technology is
transferred to counties through presentations and workshops.
Mr. Monlux also has extensive experience in performing evaluations, designing appropriate treatments
and monitoring projects during and after construction. He is a licensed professional engineer in the
States of Washington and Idaho.
