IBTTA Summit on AET, Managed Lanes & Interoperability Four Weeks Away!
Make plans to join IBTTA in San Diego for the Summit on All-Electronic Tolling, Managed Lanes & Interoperability, July 20-22, 2014. Nearly 400 people have already registered for this event that will focus on questions such as how we can improve our customer's experience while on a toll facility, how the never ending flood of technology offerings actually help our customers and how improvements in operations and business rules enhance our customers acceptance of tolling.
Listen to our keynote speaker, Joseph Kopser, the CEO of RideScout, as he describes how this new app was built to address the transportation and mobility needs of our customers. View the updated program and register today at www.ibtta.org/sandiego.
