Transportation Communications Newsletter

Wednesday, February 7, 2018 - Cranford, New Jersey

Join our webinar to learn more about the options available under licensing from INRIX, and how it complements the AASHTO TPM PM3 Pooled Fund Study options. These solutions help translate the NPMRDS dataset with tools and additional datasets that simplify PM3 target-setting, tracking, and reporting. We are offering highly cost-effective solutions for meeting near-term deadlines as well as ongoing reporting. The first PM3 performance period is 5 years in length, and these tools will be available and useful from day one through the entire period, only available via INRIX/UMD.
