THE 2001 SPRING CONFERENCE
Transportation users are demanding better performance and productivity from transportation systems, organizations, and people. Individual transportation professionals and their employers are being challenged as never before to meet or exceed customer expectations by:
Managing and operating the existing transportation system to minimize delay caused by ever increasing traffic volumes and incidents
Reducing the number and severity of crashes and their impacts on individuals and society
Assuring that transportation organizations and people are performing at the highest levels
To provide transportation professionals and organizations with the necessary tools to meet these challenges, the 2001 ITE Spring Conference, Improving Transportation Performance and Productivity, will be conducted March 25-28, at the Hyatt Regency Monterey in Monterey, Calif., USA.
