 A decade ago, a national dialogue on transportation operations began. Ten years later, the ITE 2012 Technical Conference and Exhibit will help transportation professionals take the next step. Attendees will learn tools and strategies to exceed expectations while still recognizing that transportation professionals and their organizations are at different stages of the development process.
The conference is designed to support transportation engineering, planning and multidisciplinary professionals responsible for management and operations of transportation systems. The meeting content will address the application and performance of multimodal transportation management strategies to exceed customer expectations within today’s budgetary constraints. The program will also seek to link transportation operations with economic competitiveness, safety, livability, and sustainability goals. Transportation professionals will leave the meeting with strategies to improve mobility and safety.
Participation from transportation professionals, public agency management and decision-makers involved in transit, regional governance, policy development, ITS and traffic signal systems, management and operations, emergency response and vehicle technology development is strongly encouraged. Come to Pasadena to join in the conversation and share your perspective, ideas and experiences on how to exceed expectations on management and operations methods.
LOCATION
The 2012 Technical Conference and Exhibit will be held at the Pasadena Convention Center, 300 E. Green Street, Pasadena, CA USA.
Nestled at the base of the majestic San Gabriel Mountains, just 11 miles northeast of downtown Los Angeles, Pasadena is quintessential Southern California. From mountains caressed by the sun, through gardens radiant with roses, to extraordinary turn-of-the-century architecture, there is nowhere else quite like Pasadena. It truly is a pedestrian-friendly city. Attendees can stroll along beautiful tree-lined South Lake Avenue, known as Pasadena’s premier shopping district, while an eclectic mix of antique stores, galleries and specialty shops can be found in the Playhouse District. Old Pasadena, a 22-block historical area featuring 19th century structures and quaint alleyways, is one of Southern California’s hottest main-street entertainment districts.
Pasadena is easily accessible to all Los Angeles area airports, freeways, and other Southern California attractions, including Universal Studios, Disneyland and local beaches. To make sightseeing even easier, visitors can hop aboard the Gold Line light rail system. The 13.7-mile Gold Line transports passengers from Pasadena to downtown Los Angeles and points in between. With six stations throughout Pasadena, catching the train is a snap. Learn more about Pasadena here (www.visitpasadena.com).
