July 20-22 is IBTTA's Summit on AET, Managed Lanes & Interoperability in San Diego, CA
All-electronic tolling, managed lanes and the drive to interoperability are already changing the face of highway transportation. This IBTTA Summit July 20-22 gives you the latest on the technologies driving the transition, as well as the customer service and communication challenges that shape implementation. Learn about the Intelligent Transportation Systems that are already transforming modern toll roads, as well as the options for addressing security and privacy concerns that are at the top of many customers' minds. And most important, join your colleagues and peers to explore the close link between AET and interoperability, and how to leverage both to support expanded use of managed lanes.
