Attend This Conference to Keep in Step with Prevailing Trends in the Transit Industry!
Take part in this historic conference, which will blend ideas from all corners of the globe on how to combat paralyzing gridlock, stifling pollution, and economic loss brought about by increasing automobile use. Hear transit executives from 22 cities around the world cover public transportation issues in their locales and address how the deployment of urban mass transportation systems can help to sustain our environment.

Participate in a half-day federal transit administration (FTA) Workshop before the conference concludes to better understand and offer feedback on the FTA's International Mass Transit Program (IMTP), and to discuss effective approaches for international transit activities.
