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!
