The Intelligent Transportation Society of America’s (560 ITS America) 23rd Annual Meeting and Exposition will be held at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville, TN from April 22 – 24, 2013, and will showcase the latest ITS technology solutions with an exhibit hall and panel discussions featuring national, regional and local transportation officials and innovation leaders.

The three-day event will highlight the latest transportation innovations that are being developed and implemented across the United States – solutions such as connected vehicle technology, intelligent traffic signals, advanced traffic and incident management systems, electronic tolling and pricing systems, smart mobility apps, and real-time traffic, transit, navigation and parking information.

As governments at all levels are being asked to do more with less, participants will also examine ways in which intelligent transportation systems (ITS) can make the nation’s roads and public transit systems more efficient and cost-effective, while providing commuters and highway users with more convenient, modern travel options.
 
At the event, leading transportation professionals from public agencies, private industry and academia will also explore new ideas and opportunities for improving safety and mobility and modernising the nation’s infrastructure.
 
This year’s program will also feature:

State DOT CEO roundtable – transportation CEOs from around the country will share their experience and ideas for how states can better utilize ITS technologies to address critical transportation challenges, as well as what changes are on the horizon as a result of last year’s transportation reauthorisation bill, MAP-21.

Legislative sessions – attendees will have a unique opportunity to hear from and provide input to policymakers who have jurisdiction over transportation and technology legislation.

US DOT programs update – senior officials from across the 324 US Department of Transportation will present the latest developments in federal highway, transit and safety programs, including the ITS Strategic Plan and what lies ahead for 2013 and beyond.

ITS spotlights – private sector innovation leaders will discuss the latest developments in the ITS field, including recent deployment projects that are making a real-world impact on transportation safety, mobility, the environment and the economy.

Town hall meetings – these new, interactive sessions will focus on controversial and timely subjects including innovative financing alternatives for the nation’s transportation system.

Training – state, city and county transportation professionals can register for training courses on numerous ITS-related subjects, hosted by the 831 Federal Highway Administration (FHWA).
