The cut-off date to receive the IBTTA
negotiated hotel rate is March 14, 2015. Register and make your travel
arrangements today for the IBTTA Washington Briefing, March 29-31,
2015, at the Washington Marriott in Washington, DC. The conference brings together the who's who in the transportation
industry and provides a forum to share our vision and address critical issues
directly with Members of Congress. A
special feature of this year's Washington Briefing is the opportunity to visit
with your members of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives to discuss
the role of tolling in surface transportation. We are dedicating the afternoon
of Monday, March 30 for these Hill visits. Visit www.IBTTA.org/dc for
the full program, travel, hotel and other information.
