The meeting theme, “Smart Transportation: A Future We Can Afford,” will focus on how ITS offers affordable solutions to the world’s transportation challenges.

The packed program includes plenary sessions and special roundtables for investors and the media in addition to ancillary meetings held by such organizations as the US Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration and the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials.
