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.
