Annual Regional Transportation Summit
Each year, SRTC hosts an educational Regional Transportation Summit in mid-October. Topics are intended to spark important and timely conversations about regional problems, state-of-the-practice solutions and national trends and opportunities. This event brings together transportation professionals, government officials, members of the business community and more to learn about how we can work together to continually improve our regional transportation system.
