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
two workshops 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 in one of the
two workshops to collaborate with other agencies on performance measurement
needs and discuss plans to approach MAP-21 requirements. Workshops will be held
at the Grand Hyatt Denver and meeting rooms details will be provided to those
who RSVP. Reserve your spot today!
Iteris Workshop I - Monday,
June 1 from 2:30 PM to 3:15 PM
Iteris Workshop II - Tuesday,
June 2 from 9:30 AM to 10:15 AM
