About the Event
Slides and recordings of this conference are available for purchase. If interested, please email contact@tollinsight.com
As the tolling industry expands across the U.S. and increasingly converts to cashless operations, the need for tolling interoperability becomes more vital. Agencies, vendors, consultants continue to create next-generation solutions, while various working groups have connected to chart the path forward. In this conference, we expanded the discussion by convening a broader range of stakeholders (toll agencies, consultants, vendors, etc.) to exchange ideas regarding this important topic.
We are grateful for the commitment from key leaders across the public and private sectors who participated. Our events are free for public agency personnel. We had another 200+ person well received and attended conference!
