About the Conference

"Serving the Practitioner" is the key to a successful professional conference, and that will be the focus of the 2008 Transportation Engineering and Safety Conference. This annual gathering of professionals from throughout Pennsylvania, the mid-Atlantic region, and the country continues to deliver authoritative information on pressing issues from some of the foremost experts in transportation today. Vigorous interaction and discussion among presenters and attendees is built into the program format, and optional preconference workshops allow for more in-depth probing of selected topics.

The conference topics fall into four key tracts—design, operations, safety, and planning—and cover a wide range of transportation subjects, with considerable depth in each session. Concurrent sessions, professional workshops, and a transportation technology exhibition will all be part of TESC 2008. Transportation professionals can expect to gain valuable information at the conference.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:

Certificates for CEUs will be sent in early January.
