Session Overview:

No longer can we look at these former independent technologies in the transit environment as separate entities. A quick look at the agenda from a recent APTA TransITech conference will convince you that the dividing line between former IT systems and emerging ITS systems is gone. Managing these increasingly complex interfaces is a growing challenge. There's much to be gained and much to be done. This live webcast provides the opportunity to hear solutions and lessons on how successfully merging complex interfaces can benefit you.  See and hear industry experts as they address the issues of this important topic. See their presentations.  Hear what on-site audience members are asking. Submit your questions to our panel via a designated email address.  Hear what they have to say about your questions. Closed captioning services will be provided.
