NaTMEC 2024 is upon us!

The bi-annual National Travel Monitoring Exposition and Conference (NaTMEC) provides travel monitoring professionals and transportation data users from around the world with opportunities to share knowledge and good practices, exchange ideas, revisit fundamental concepts, learn new processes, procedures and techniques, and see the latest advancements in policy, technology, and equipment. The goal of the conference is to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of multimodal traffic monitoring programs covering motorist and micromobility movements to enhance data driven decisions in areas of performance management, planning and design, asset management, safety, and program administration.
