The I-95 Corridor Coalition is hosting a conference, “Connected & Automated Vehicles (CAV): What States Need to Know” on June 21-22, 2016, at the Maritime Institute near BWI Airport, Maryland. The conference is uniquely designed to:
  • Highlight how CAV will affect our transportation system;
  • Provide an overview of lessons learned from around the country;
  • Describe current efforts underway within select Coalition states; and,
  • Share insights from State DOT executives, NHTSA, the insurance industry and auto manufacturers. 
This conference lays the groundwork to get ready for CAV from a state and regional perspective, systems, communications, and technology topics will be explored, as well as policy, legal, motor vehicle administration, insurance, freight and transit matters.  Reserve your spot now – as an attendee, sponsor or exhibitor – click here for details, or visit the Coalition’s website at www.i95coalition.org
