Learn More at IBTTA's 2014 Annual Meeting September 14-17
Austin, Texas is at the center of a transformation in highway infrastructure financing. That makes it the perfect city to host IBTTA's 82nd Annual Meeting & Exhibition September 14-17. With rapid population growth and serious traffic congestion, the community has become a living laboratory for innovative transportation solutions—and tolling is at the core of the city's strategy to pay for safe, reliable mobility. A sophisticated high tech and industrial hub by day, the Live Music Capital of the World by night, Austin will amaze you as a place to learn more about a future in which highway transportation will be all about satisfying customers and collaborating with a wider array of partners. Registration for the conference opens May 1, with a 10% discount if you register online. Click here for information on the largest event on the tolling industry's annual calendar.
