Stakeholders from MPOs and RDOs, state DOTs, the federal government, academia, and industry should attend this meeting as their participation and input is critical to the overall success of the ACTS program. In sharing technical expertise, procedures, and practices and supporting an innovative, creative environment, new approaches and efficiencies to common challenges may be achieved.
