The countdown has
begun to the 2015 National Rural ITS Conference. To be
held August 9-12th at Snowbird Resort outside of Salt Lake City,
Utah, the conference will provide participants access to nearly 20 technical sessions plus training,
professional tours and USDOT sponsored listening sessions. Need more
reasons? Like many of its western cohorts, Salt Lake has drastically
improved its transportation systems over the years.
While traditionally a driving city, public transportation is widely
accepted and used. From an elaborate bus system to the light
rail and improved wayfinding systems, navigating Salt Lake is a prime example
of the transition to modern transportation systems. So, find your way to
Salt Lake for the 2015 NRITS Conference, August 9-12th. Visit the conference page at http://www.nationalruralitsconference.org/ to
learn more. Interested in attending, but missed the early
registration deadline? Contact our administrative support team at (866-633-8110),

fee (excludes student fees).
