About the Event

Mark your calendar for our annual conference! The event convenes researchers and practitioners from Minnesota and the Upper Midwest to highlight new learning, emerging ideas, and the latest innovations in transportation. Attendees learn about research findings, implementation efforts, and engagement activities related to a variety of transportation topics.

• Natalie Villwock-Witte, an assistant research professor and research engineer with the Western Transportation Institute at Montana State University, will discuss the Institute's work in rural communities.
• Anne Goodchild, founding director of the Urban Freight Lab at the University of Washington, will focus on envisioning freight systems that work for all communities.
