Call for Abstracts - Closes September 8, 2023

We want to hear from agencies of all forms, whether you are from a small local highway district or a major transportation research institution. The travel monitoring industry has rapidly changed these past few years, and innovative new practices have emerged to handle the changes to how communities connect across this country.

Practitioners, researchers, and students are encouraged to submit an abstract for consideration for presentation.  Several presentation formats (see descriptions here) will be offered, including lectern, poster, lightning talk, and demonstration. Please indicate which format(s) you prefer for presentation. The committee will try to accommodate presenter’s preferences to make well-rounded tracks around key topic areas. However, if NaTMEC program limitations will not allow for the presenter’s desired format, they will be contacted and an alternative format may be requested. We very much look forward to gathering together June 2-5, 2024 in Boise, Idaho for NaTMEC 2024.

Submitting an Abstract

To be considered for inclusion, abstracts must be submitted using this Google form.
