Iteris hosts MAP-21 Discussion at 5th International
Transportation Systems Performance Measurement and Data Conference in Denver,
Colorado on June 1-2
Iteris will be hosting
a workshop for agencies to share how they plan to respond to the MAP-21 System
Performance Measure Rule and to provide an opportunity for agencies to see
Iteris’ new iPeMS® MAP-21 Module. The iPeMS® MAP-21 Module leverages the
National Performance Management Research Data Set (NPMRDS) in order to help
states and MPOs efficiently satisfy reporting requirements.
Join us to collaborate
with other agencies on performance measurement needs and discuss plans to
approach MAP-21 requirements. The workshop will be held at the Grand Hyatt
Denver and meeting room details will be provided to those who RSVP. Reserve
your spot today!
Iteris Workshop I - Monday,
June 1 from 12:00 PM (noon) to 1:00 PM MT
*Please note, Iteris
will only be hosting one workshop during this conference, not two as previously
advertised. We hope to see you there.
