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.
