Location: National Harbor, MD - Date: May 24, 2012

The US DOT’s ITS Mobility Program is sponsoring a one-day workshop in the Washington DC area just after the conclusion of the ITS America Annual Meeting, 24 May 2012.  The workshop is intended to inform stakeholders on progress, products and plans of the two programs, and to seek input from stakeholders on the direction of the two programs.  The morning agenda is planned as an informational session (with concurrent webinar), while the afternoon features interactive breakout sessions on critical issues designed to garner stakeholder feedback.  A similar workshop in 2010 attracted over 150 participants.
