Iteris hosts MAP-21 Discussion at 5th International Transportation Systems Performance Measurement and Data Conference in Denver, Colorado on June 1-2
Iteris will be hosting two workshops for agencies to share how they plan to respond to the MAP-21 System Performance Measure Rule and to provide an opportunity for agencies to see Iteris' new iPeMS® MAP-21 Module. The iPeMS® MAP-21 Module leverages the National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS) in order to help states and MPOs efficiently satisfy reporting requirements.
Join us in one of the two workshops to collaborate with other agencies on performance measurement needs and discuss plans to approach MAP-21 requirements. Workshops will be held at the Grand Hyatt Denver and meeting rooms details will be provided to those who RSVP. Reserve your spot today!
Iteris Workshop I - Monday, June 1 from 2:30 PM to 3:15 PM
Iteris Workshop II - Tuesday, June 2 from 9:30 AM to 10:15 AM
