July 20-22 is IBTTA's Summit on AET, Managed Lanes & Interoperability in San Diego, CA
IBTTA's Summit on All-Electronic Tolling, Managed Lanes & Interoperability remains the most heavily attended workshop of the year. The 2014 Workshop will continue the tradition of providing progress reports and best practices in support of improving customer mobility and predictability while streamlining transportation systems. There will be two tracks this year – Technical/Engineering and Non-Technical/Operations. We'll be talking about the close link between AET and interoperability and how both can be leveraged to support expanded deployments of managed lanes. We'll also discuss how this impacts our expanding customer base and the increasing number of collaborating toll partners. Stay tuned for the full program and visit www.IBTTA.org/sandiego for details and to register today!
