The Intelligent Transportation Society of America (560 ITS America) is to hold the 25th Annual ITS America Meeting and Exposition in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Taking place between 1 and 3 June 201, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in downtown Pittsburgh, the event is expected to draw more than 2,000 of the nation’s top transportation and technology policymakers, innovators and engineers, investors, researchers and business leaders  to Pittsburgh to address the critical role of technology in the nation’s and region’s transportation future.

Co-hosted with ITS Pennsylvania, the 2015 Annual Meeting will feature keynote speeches and panel discussions with the intelligent transportation industry’s premier thought leaders and rising stars, and provide attendees the opportunity to experience the latest transportation innovations through interactive technology demonstrations, a bustling exhibit hall, technical tours, and networking events.

“ITS America is thrilled to host our 25th Annual Meeting in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania—a city that is at the forefront of researching and developing high-tech transportation solutions,” said Scott Belcher, president and CEO of ITS America.  “Pittsburgh is leading the way in advancing technologies such as smart sensors for parking, real-time traffic and transit information, advanced vehicle and robotics technologies, and smart mobility applications that are revolutionising transportation as we know it.”

“ITS Pennsylvania is excited to have the City of Pittsburgh selected as the Annual Meeting location.  With a surge of activity in recent years in university research, technology transfer, and robotics, Pittsburgh is transforming itself into a center of intelligent transportation activity.  There has also been a tremendous ITS focus on transportation, safety, operations and mobility issues throughout the state that we look to share with our colleagues”, said ITS Pennsylvania president Dan Corey.
