The program for the ITE 2016 Annual Meeting & Exhibit highlights the thought leadership and success stories as well as features the wealth of transportation innovation taking place in California.
- Connected Vehicles: Irrelevant in an Autonomous World?
With the coming disruption of autonomous vehicles, agencies and automotive manufacturers are rapidly moving forward with connecting vehicles to each other and connecting vehicles to infrastructure. What are the latest developments, and will they make a difference to safety and congestion? This session engages the audience with the latest from pilot deployments, innovative policies, and related programs.
- Farewell to Level of Service: The California Way
The session reviews the new metrics and implications of California's foundational environmental law can no longer treat vibrant communities, transit and active transportation options as adverse environmental outcomes. On the contrary, aspects of project location and design that influence travel choices, and thereby improve or degrade air quality, safety, and health, must be considered. A development project that results in vehicle miles traveled exceeding an applicable threshold of significance may indicate a significant impact.
- Vanishing Point: Vision Zero
Vision Zero initiatives employ pioneering strategies to tackle the constant challenge of transportation safety. This session brings together representatives from agencies that have developed proactive, data-driven, Vision Zero strategies to address transportation safety challenges, as well as provide the Federal Highway Administration's perspective on the upcoming safety performance measures release.
Sessions focus on direct engagement between the presenters and the audience to stimulate brainstorming and creative application of new methods. For more information on the technical sessions taking place at the 2016 Annual Meeting & Exhibit, click here.
