2024 National Rural ITS Conference

Come to learn about creative ITS implementation solutions for your community. We have had an outstanding response to our call for abstracts and built a very strong technical program for the Rural ITS topics to be integrated into the 2024 ITE Annual Meeting. The technical program will paint an realistic picture of our transportation future, centering on practical examples of recent advances and upcoming opportunities. With Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) funding programs now in a third year, we will explore some real-world success stories, highlight new technology and innovation, and frame many of the conversations around the core and emerging areas of rural transportation practice. This is a great opportunity to demonstrate how people-oriented planning and engineering can have positive impacts on our lives by improving safety and mobility.

We will be again joining ITE in 2024 as part of their in-person Annual Meeting and Exhibition in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and will be adding some new session delivery concepts and networking events. Moving toward the conference dates July 21-24, 2024, additional information is now available. The National Rural ITS Conference will provide participants a one-stop resource focusing on Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) implementation in rural and local communities and the opportunity to hear new and thoughtful perspectives from a wide variety of ITS-related topics.  In addition, there is specific content incorporated into the program on grant applications to jump start ITS projects in small and rural communities. The many different training and networking opportunities available through this event will provide participants with the tools necessary to effectively plan and deploy ITS technologies within your own jurisdictions.
